Just bought our first Mini Cooper today. Midnight Black Cooper S hardtop. I have always liked the way they looked but the wife thought they are "clown cars". Once she drove one and got inside she loved it. So we bought one today! Had to get the Cooper S so we had enough power. Looking forward to customizing it.

 

Congrats on your purchase! Honestly I thought they were clown cars also until I test drove one. I bought an older R53 but I still wouldn't buy anything else. Cheers!
