1st week

Well we have had Peggy for a week now and all I can say is WOW. She feels like an old comfy sweatshirt that got lost in the back of the closet and you refound. Like she has always been meant to be. Of course I do believe I created a monster with my hubby, he is having way too much fun wth her although I cannot be that mad, since I am now finding more back roads to get home from work now. Not sure I will get the better gas mileage with the way we have been riding her....
And I had 2 waves this week both from chili pepper reds. That was cool!! Funny how I find that cool, since we both ride motorcycles and are used to waving and being waved back.

I got a motorcycle also...its weird sometimes that on a nice summer day, Ill pick the MINI over the motorcycle. I see a few MINIs around but they are either way ahead of me or going the opposite direction on the interstate.

Driving is fun is it not? I would suggest that you convince your hubby to get his own that way everyone is happy. Congrats, motor on.

Yeah it sounds like you are prime candidates for the two MINI family. Every one will be happy then.

Ah yes, you do run the risk of senseless motoring, but heck, there's always a good view or a new road right around the corner...or the next one.

Have a blast and be sure to keep us posted on your adventures!

Hey, if you win the lotto you should get a Roadster, a Coupe, and a Countryman too! And a GP, a WC50, a Camden, a Mayfair, a Rally Edition, a couple of classics, etc.

We are headed to a two MINI daily driver family. JCW clubbie and a WC50 on the way. The Mini stays garaged most of the time.
