I am a Mini owner since January 15th of this year. I bought my 2007 convertible after watching it for 2 months, it had been sitting on a lot in Franklin since mid October. I had been caregiving my mother, who passed away on November 15th. All my life I have been a manual ransmission person, but I always had to consider the needs of others that I would be transporting. I decided on a Mini because of the transmission shift qualities. I wouldn't say that I drive fast, but...*I hate tailgating*. In fact, my license plate says so, so if you see me out and about, you will know it's me. I really love my car and am doing everything to keep up its appearance. I think the person that owned it before me must have followed too many big tractors, because the windshield has a zillion nicks in the glass and the front paint does as well. I am a prety busy lady, but I will probably show up at one of y'alls dinners soon. I am waiting to get my volunteer schedule in a hospital pharmacy which may kill a good part of my weekends,but I'm sure going to get out to meet you and see what other kinds of crazies besides me drive these things.

WELCOME!!!!! 039

Don't worry about the chips on the front or the windshield. Wear them as a badge of motoring experience.  Even if the windshield makes it hard to see when driving into the sun. I actually plan on replacing mine pretty soon.

Either way, hope to meet you and your MINI soon, we really do have a lot of fun with our cars!

Welcome to the group. 023

If you see a couple of Pepper White MINI's around Isle of Wright that would be my wife and I and we hate to tailgate too. 039
