Hi MC of WNY, I'm new to this forum and recently took delivery of a 2012 Cooper S Countryman ALL4. I ordered polar beige interior, 6 speed manual, xenon lights, hood stripes, and red w/white roof. Great car and lots of fun - have 5000 miles on it in 2 months!
Welcome! I just got my MINI in October and am having a blast with it. Certainly makes driving exciting! Your countryman looks great! I still need to venture out to Towne and see if they have a countryman I can test drive. I love the front look of the Countryman, I'm hoping the rest of the MINI line up borrows the grill shape as it looks fantastic!

That sounds like a great color combination. I don't think I've seen a polar beige interior in person yet, but I bet it looks great with the red and white roof & stripes!
Hey guys! Just bought a used 09 MCS and love it! I come from the VW/Audi world but I am looking foward to driving this car. I already love it. It is my new DD/Autox monster.
Welcome BIG E! I just got mine in October and I'm loving it, just wish I had purchased it sooner to do some Autox events with. I can't wait for the spring at this rate!

Please be all my friends and share with me your MINI hobbies. Looking forward to drive my mini and tell you about my fealings. Peace.
Welcome, Eugene! Best of luck getting your Mini. There's another MINI website you might be interested in, down in the 'tri-state' area, called NE MINI (north east Mini) Their website is here- http://nemini.org/index.php?action=forum
We're about 350 miles north of you, but I crtainly know of NYC Mini owners who have come up here for events, and vice versa. They're a nice bunch of people. Most of us are in the Buffalo and Rochester area.
New owner of a 2010 MCS, midnight black, white roof, cold weather package, premium package, and technology package that I found at a Mini dealer in NJ. I love my first Mini! Can't wait till the new Dorschel Mini opens this summer, I need to meet more excited Mini owners like myself :)

Hi, I'm Sue, and I picked up my mint 07 red/white baby today. Her current name is Hyacinth Bucket, but may be changed.
I visited England most every summer as a kid-cousins, grandma still lived there, and always had great memories of squeezing as many kids as possible into my aunt's old mini, probably a mid-60's model. Finally, I found one of my own!!
I'm in Hamburg, do wave if you see a crazy woman playing with her sunroof!
Well it's been awhile since I have been around so hello to everyone. Sad news first my 2005 base red/white cooper for totaled in a rear end accident. I was so attached to it and it is really hard to key it go.
So to feel better i found a 2008 cooperS cabrio. I will be picking it up on Friday! Best part to me is that it is still a first gen with the super charger!
Hey everyone! New MINI owner here. I was Jeep owner and ever thought I'd find a community quite like it, so far I've been proven very wrong! If you see a dark green Countryman with white stripes and Star Wars decals on the back in the Buffalo area, beep and say hello!

Just got my 2009 R57 over the weekend and already my head is sunburned!!!
What a blast to drive...looking forward to the meet ups unfortunately, I won't be able to drive it for a couple months...having a knee replacement in early June and my R57 is a stick! Didn't think this through I guess!
