Congrats Dan! Welcome to NAM and the wonderful world of the MINI! I hope you love your new job as much as your new MINI. Between the two there ought to be no contest!

(Unless, of course, your new job is a photographer for Victoria's Secret...)

In my previous job I drove 40,000 miles a year servicing business equipment. Response time restraints made the work very stressful. My new job, print services manager for Gannett direct marketing. I'll be in one spot and no traveling except for motoring in my mini.
