Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I picked up an 03 Silver/Silver MCS this weekend. I've been eyeing these cars for a while (you might have seen me poking around the Market forums), and I'm excited about finally getting one.

One question: My wife was skeptical at first, but after a test drive she was sold. Now she wants to drive it all the time instead of her car. Is there a fix?

 

Yes... buy a second one.

(Oh, and welcome and congrats!)

 

You could threaten to trade her in for a newer model... or maybe just get a new second one.

BTW, that was meant to refer to the car.. not your wife.

 

I agree get another one. There are many two MINI houses on this site.

 

Lol. She'd probably go for getting another one. Thanks for the advice!

 

get a convertible...

that way there is one for summer and one for winter

 

My wife prefers her Vibe, which is totally fine by me. After 37 years of marriage, I would say that if your wife really likes your MINI, then she needs to trade in her car for a MINI of her own. I doubt very much that a MINI can ever truly be a shared experience. Unless the "shared" experience involves the husband driving and the wife gladly riding in the passenger seat.

Oh, and before anyone accuses me of being chauvinistic, if the roles were reversed, I would say the exact same thing only backwards. I just cannot imagine how anyone could realistically share a MINI.

 

Welcome to the land of MINIS....Glad you finally made your dream come true.

Oh and about "the fix"? Hum....MINI #2 is the ONLY fix....
