The Mrs. got me a MINI for Christmas!
 
After years of dreaming of owning my own, the Mrs. got me one for Christmas! Best Christmas present ever!
I was in dier need of a new car since my old one, '94 Jetta VR6, was about to keel over after dying a slow death. So my wife told me we should start looking at the dealers. After going to the 3 dealers in the area, LB MINI said they had one coming in that matched nearly everything I wanted! So we put the deposit down and a few days later, we got to finally pic her up! Specs: 2007 (got the 4.9% apr) MCS DS/B, Bonnet Stripes, Sport Package, LSD, and a sunroof. I cant stop smiling when I drive this car! Here are pictures of the new addition and one of my dads 1968 Cooper S that he and I rebuilt. Now his has a friend. Enjoy. :grin:
