Heh - and I wondered if that might happen after we left MoT on the run this morning.

Congrats, Samantha! It was really nice to see you guys again. Hope you'll start coming to more DCMM events again!

Definitely, but probably not maryland. 5:30am got here too soon :( Sterling is a much more forgiving roadtrip!

I'm glad I was surprised to see you there!

Thanks you guys. I'm so excited to be back in one.

Reminds me of first setting foot on a MINI lot... a 2003 Liquid Yellow and a 2003 Electric Blue. Decisions! I chose the EB because of the options. I always longed for a Liquid Yellow but I ended up LOVING my Electric Blue. It's a very interesting color, especially at night under low lighting whereas it brings out a hidden depth. It didn't take long for me to realize the shade's complexities and fall in love. Congrats and enjoy!

(PS Your bubble-gum pink attire looks great with the Electric Blue! )

That's funny! There was actually a LY right next to this one when I bought it! I already had my heart set on the EB, then I looked inside and saw tan interior on the LY and I was thankful. I didn't like that combination, so I didn't have to stand there and decide which to buy

When I got the TSB, I didn't pick it out. My dad actually egged me to get it because he thought it suited me the best. I probably would have gotten the EB originally.

It's been impossible to find another LY/W with the options I want, and more EB's have been surfacing lately, so I decided to go for one I definitely think LY was me, but I hope EB is too!

It's going to be hard not to paint it pink. Stoopidgirl and FutureQueen have ruined me!

That's great! I test drove a Clubman quite a few months ago. The styling has been growing on me, but man it was fast! Especially compared to my poor little miata :P

Yeah, it's been a crazy last few years. I bought the house, then Drew proposed, and just 2 months before the wedding I had to go out and get another car
