This thing followed us home this weekend...



09 Clubman S with 33,xxx on it. Wife's car after someone totaled her poor Nissan. I thought I'd say hello because I'll be the guy wrenching on it. We like to keep cars until they kaput. Hopefully into the 200,000. And from what I understand about MINIs, that could mean a lot of wrench time for me.

Anyway, she loves it. One of the few cars that hit all the check marks. (or square roots)

√ Manual
√ Everything fits. (She's a photograph and it needs to carry her lighting rig)
√ Handles well and is fun to drive
√ Didn't have to take out a second mortgage.
√ Has some kind of soul

At least you got it with the right idea.

I always warn folks about MINIs; I love driving them, but it's a commitment to keep them on the road. Seriously, though... welcome to the fold. That's a great-looking car. The Pure Silver never really needs to be washed and always looks great.
