Why have I waited this long...

...to buy a Mini? Gees this thing is fun!

Picked him up in San Antonio last night. At 80mph on the interstate with the top down and wind deflector up, it's STILL less wind than the Jeep was with only the windows down. Mini has sure packed a LOT of luxury into such a small package.

I'm SO glad I bought the manual transmission to! So much fun. I can't believe the handling of this car either. It totally hugs the road.

I thought the Jeep was truly "me", but I think I'm changing my mind.

The $6k discount and $24998 price tag just makes it all the more sweeter!

Congratulations! I'm not big on the Union Jack stuff, but I really like the silver-on-silver stripes and the red interior trim.

I saw one just like mine the other day, but it was blue and the Union Jack stuff was red/white/blue, and I didn't really care for it either. But I like the black and white on mine. It's not as prominent since its all monochromatic. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have chosen it had I built one.

I got lucky with this one though. I'm seriously enjoying this thing.
