The story
The story of my 2009 R56 Mini Cooper is a pretty simple one... I have always loved European style cars and always wanted to get into the car scene. I wanted something that would stand out, so why not a Mini Cooper? I started researching what they were capable of... and I fell in love. I went to check out a R56 Lightning Blue Mini Cooper at a local dealership and I couldn’t get the smile off my face when I saw my future car. She’s come a long way and can’t wait to share the ride!
