New to the Family - Cooper S

My wife just took delivery of her new 2005 Mini Cooper S. We now have a very good handling set of cars. Anyone else have the Evo / Mini combo?

Best wishes,
f86sabre

It' s almost identical to my 04 Cooper S except I removed the bonnet stripes. This car makes my commute so enjoyable.

Awesome car!

I used to have an 02 Electic Blue Cooper S.

Helluva fun car to drive.

The handling is topnotch.

I got rid of it for my Evo.

congrats!

I had a problematic MCS as well. Be aware that Mini dealerships are as anti mod and warranty cancelling as Mitsu and Subaru are. Now I have the Evo -- STI combo.

Nice car but a little small for my 6'3" 230lb frame. I would think they're a little unsafe too because of how light they are...collisions, strong gusts, etc.
