New Mini owner(s)
Hello all. My name is Ryan. My wife Jess and I bought our first Mini on July 3rd after having wanted one for several years now. We picked up a used 2006 Cooper S convertible. Since I didn't get an original window sticker from what I can tell it has the cold weather package, sport package, premium package, and the tiptronic auto transmission. We traded in one of our Toyota Yaris' for it, so yea, pretty big upgrade! I drove for 5-6 hours yesterday and managed to give myself a sunburn in the process....
Best part is, after running some numbers and doing some talking we decided to get Jess her own dedicated Mini. So we put an order in for a Cooper, chili red, auto, UJ roof, red accent interior, cold weather package, etc. from Baron. So in 6-8 weeks we should have our second Mini.
Here are some pretty bad pics of the car (sun was going down):
We are both looking forward to coming out to some gatherings and whatnot.

Actually we are going to the drive-in movies on the 12th and Sonic drive-in on the 24th. So, you are both correct!!!

Another new mini owner, my friend
My friend in houston, tx is waiting for her 08 Mini cooper convertible
and its the same color metallic silver
silver is definitely getting popular among MINI, as I dont see too many silver MINI in the past.

Yea, I had actually never seen this style of wheel prior to test driving the car. IMHO they are the best looking of the 17" wheel options. I really like the currenet S "web" wheels as well. Since they have no lip the rim appears larger than it really is IMHO. I was surprised to find 205/45/17 tires on it as they look more like 205/40/17 IMHO.kabootist wrote:I see you have a good taste in wheels...
I might, however, move these to my wifes 08 base sometime and get a set of wheels for mine. That wouldn't be for awhile though.
