Default Cancelled my 08 Cooper S, picking up an 08 S2k

Hey everyone!

First of all, to the guy in the red AP1 on the GSP who flew past me Saturday afternoon, thank you for doing that..because I would be picking up my Mini this week if it weren't for you!

I custom ordered a Lightning Blue Cooper S 2 months ago and was scheduled to pick it up this week. After seeing the S2k, I was reminded how sexy a car it is. My family owned an 00 Silverstone for about 5 years, and I fell in love with it.

Little history on my cars: I have owned an 88 Prelude, 00 Audi S4, 04 Accord, 05 Legacy GT, 06 Civic Si, and currently I drive an 07 BMW 335. As much as I love the 335, I want a go-kart kind of car..which is why I chose the mini. I had been doing a lot of thinking, and for $30k..I would much rather have a RWD roadster, an S2k.

I have just begun my shopping around for price..best so far is $32,200 inc. destination. I'm pretty sure I want the Chicane/Black but Rio Yellow sure is sexy...I'm afraid it will be too much of a cop magnet. It feels good to be getting back into another fun Honda (notice every other car is a Honda for me..). My wife drives a Fit Sport too..fun stuff!!!

See you around!

Good thing you were able to change your mind before it was too late. Good luck finding the color you want. Be sure to let us know what you get.

In about one year of owning a Rio I've had one ticket -- for an allegedly "illegal left turn". We'll see what happens in court on this one.

The Minis are fun but very different.
