Hey guys, this weekend me and another co-worker decided to swap cars. Through the plant we are now able to get the Mini Coopers. They are very cheap in cost and gets real good gas mileage. I have posted pics of the car, its an 08 Mini Cooper S - Laser Blue exterior and i forgot what he said the interior was. I wont be ordering one of these for myself, but it is a nice "little" car.

He came and got his car back today, has had my 5 since thursday. First thing he said, was that the 535i has some major kickass power. He had on order a 528 and now wish he would have ordered the 535.

Here are some pics that he sent me from when he got his Mini a few weeks ago. They even let him order the stripes on the hood too.

The Cooper S is a blast to drive, just too small.

I guess for business purposes?

Regarding MINI, I think the clubman would be a nice and useful vehicle to have.
