missing my car

Hi All I'm new to the group
My wife and I purchased a 2008 R52 JCW chilly red at the end of September 08 While we were in Fla on family business (We were told by the dealership it is a one of a kind)
we put about 1000 mile on it in about a week and a half (not even fully broken in yet) then we garaged it to come back to LI NY as we are undergoing construction at our home and didn't have a place to keep it. I am now going crazy knowing it is sitting there and I am sitting here..

How much longer until you are able to get back to FL to get it? Beautiful Mini! That Chili red really shines in the FL sun!

We plan on heading back mid to end of February hang around for a few weeks
and then drive her home, hopefully after all the snow is gone.

Hopefully you'll be reunited soon, but if you're waiting for the snow to disappear this winter, it might be a while...

Welcome to NAM and MINIs--that's a great looking car. Fun too, I'll bet...

Do you want to hear that it could be worse?

Tess and I are taking a break. She's in Hawaii, and I'm in Iraq. 13 time zones if you go there via the US.

Best I could do was order the mini Minis from Woot the other day, and keep a toy Tess with me to zoom around the floor, like I'm 6 again.
