New to us Mini

Have been looking for a decent used Mini for the Wife for about 2 months.

Found one 50 miles away and picked it up Monday 7-16.

Exactly what SWMBO wanted, Chili red and auto trans with sunroof.

She can't get the smile on her face to go away!!
(I'm pretty pleased myself)

I'll be doing all the maint. myself as I don't trust anyone else to "do it
right" and of course it will be a lot less expensive.

Very funny, as I too am very excited about my chili red MC Justa. I just lived through a pretty bad car accident in which my neck was broken and the docs said that they couldn't believe I lived. I think it was Gods Grace...so I will name my new Mini (I wasn't driving, but I am getting a new car) Amazing Grace. I hope you and your wife thoroughly enjoy your new baby, and I an hardly wait for mine!!!! ~Pam
