Hi there from Massachusetts. I just bought my first Mini. It's a blue 2006 Cooper S Convertible with a manual transmission. It has 129,500 miles on it. Its a second vehicle, sort of a project car. I always wanted one of these things but its just too impractical to be a daily driver all year round. A friend had one with some mechanical problems he didnt want to deal with so he sold it to me cheap.
