So I bought my first new to me mini back in January. An 02 justa 238/500 special edition. At first, my wife hated driving it (noisy performance exhaust, bumpy ride blah blah). As time went by, mini spent less time in the garage, more time with her behind the wheel. Next, was to teach my 20 year old son how to drive stick. Mission accomplished. Just started teaching my 16 year old daughter, she's catching on real quick, because she doesn't know the luxury of an automatic. I bought it as a 3rd car (secretly as my mid-life crisis car). That has completely backfired as it is never home with me anymore. I think I might have to accidentally purchase a later model S in the near future. With vanity plates...ONLY DADS

 

Get an S, preferrably 05 or 06. You won't be disappointed.

 

haha, "Only Dads." That is a very good idea.

LOL. Great story. Go get yourself another one!

 

Nice story, that what happens. Everyone wants one.
