After years of being an air cooled VW owner (still love those cars, just too much work as I get older) I found a 2003 Mini Cooper S in Lodi, CA. We live in Idaho, visiting my wife's family in Nor Cal last week and found this cool car. I've wanted one since I saw The Italian Job (remake) and this car is so fun to drive and looks easy to maintain. The 6 speed tranny is neat, but kind of takes some getting used to.

Anyway, just joining and going to see what the Mini community is like.

 

Awesome catch! I have an 04 MCS and I just love driving it! It is a blast on the curves too!

 

Yeah, its an awesome car. I just bought a pre owned one, but its in good service. One of my suggested me to buy a used one, he also purchased a used rolls royce car, so i also thought to give used car a try. I think it was a nice try.

What do you think guys?

 

Welcome to Mini Cooper Forums, Wish you luck on your priced possession !

 

Thanks to all... it's a fun little car.
