Welcome our Mini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally aquired a MINI as a second car. I have waited quite a while (2years) for a second parking spot in my condo building. My wife and I were sharing my car (BMW e90). We got the call from the condo association and then the hunt began for a second car. We live in the city (Chicago) and my wife does about 95% city driving with parallel parking everyday. I wanted a small car with front wheel drive and MINI was my first choice. We were looking at used MINIs but it took me a while to find one in great condition, but I did and got linked with the seller from this forum when I posted a WTB. Without further ado............................................... ......................meet my Mini,

I walked past the water tower last Saturday. Your car wasn't anywhere to be seen. You must have arrived later. I did see a BRG on Randolph west of the cultural center.

Congratulations on picking up a great-looking car.

Great MC in a nice setting for pictures. What are the specifications on your MC?

Does your parking structure really have that much space between cars, perhaps you should look for another MINI, become a 3 car family.
