I'm new to the site as of about 5 minutes ago. Just purchased a 2005 Mini Cooper S 6 speed. This is my first ever car that was not made in the USA. I purchased a new 17 Silverado 2500 a few months ago and decided to sell my Hummer H2 that I had for many years. The new truck is primarily my business truck and can't drive it when I'm not working. I decided to get something small and fun so the Mini is perfect. I'm 6'1" and 285 lb but fit pretty good. I also have a 70 SS 454 Chevelle, 59 Corvette and a 13 Mustang GT. When I test drove the Mini the power really surprised me and I fell in love. The car is british racing green and black. Needs a couple little things but other than that its really nice. Well, hello everyone. Keith
