hello all, new to this forum. I do not own a mini yet! but I'm looking for a cooper s. somewhere in the 02-06 model years. I'am currently working on a 95 impala ss. My 88 chrysler conquest tsi is in the shop getting a new head gasket. My d.d. is a 04 chevy avalanche z71 black. Single father of one (7 year old) little boy. I live in kentucky, and I work for a tobacco company. Happy to be here and hope to gain a lot of knowledge from here. This will be my first, fwd car. Everything else has been rwd or 4wd .

 

Driving a mini is more than just driving. I had my Cooper for over a year now and I still get compliments and sometime is an ice breaker. It feel special having one and feel like a novelty having one. You will like it and have an open mind that it's not perfect and it does require maintenance like any other car. It's all about the experience that it amounts to. Best of luck!
