For those of you who remember, i was having some tough time deciding on a car to buy.
Originally i was looking at picking up a new MazdaSpeed3, or WRX or something to that effect. Then after looking at my finances i ultimately decided that new just wasn't in the budget yet.
I ended up selling my previous car (Volvo 850 T-5r wagon) a few weeks ago, so buying something to replace that with became a priority.
Fast forward to wednesday night, and i am the proud new owner of this:

still got run-flats :-\
doesn't ride the greatest but i'm not sure if it's the suspension or the tires, or both (it has a Tein Super Street setup)
Very nice. [thumbsup]
Congrats! I really enjoyed mine, but sold it a few months ago after realizing it was just a toy and hardly ever got used.
That's my situation tho, nothing against the car.

dood...
it's a go kart. ;D
Congrats! This was at the top of my list when I was looking for a new car awhile back. The JCW Edition is the tits! Ultimately I decided to do the logical thing and keep my current car (04 SRT-4) Boo for logic, I want a Cooper real bad
Thats a killer pic BTW, did you take it? Got more?
easily one of the most fun cars I've had the chance to drive
[thumbsup]
this purchase is Islander Approved.
Nice!! [thumbsup]
Would love to have one in my garage too!
Congrats!!
Also don't forget, Mini makes a trailer receiver for this.............
A friend and fellow Desmohio member has a standard Mini and had the hitch system installed.
He can pull a dedicated two bike trailer, with a Cagiva Gran Canyon and a MV agusta F4 while still getting 23mpg on the highway...........

Enjoy! Last time we were at Deal's Gap, the mini group was there for 2 days!! What fun hearing them running the dragon. I love how many different paint schemes you can get.
Hope you get lots of smiles & miles out of her! (Or should this line be posted on the best man speech thread!)
