... So my old man went ahead and bought himself the Cooper S from a gentleman in CT. (We bought it used, its an '05. VT doesn't have a Mini dealer.) We went down on Saturday and drove it home to VT.
It is actually suprisingly roomy inside, and its nicely appointed. This particular car has leather, in-dash NAV, and a 6spd tranny. It was very fun to drive, and is quite peppy, to say the least. I'm a pretty lucky kid to get to drive this.
While its no H2 (my dream ride), I can't say I hate the little guy...
I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful relationship!

-But don't worry, I'll always be a HUMMER guy!!
Heres a pic from when it was still a CT-registered car, along with the interior:
