also got a mini by accident...
Never thought i would buy a mini but the wife really loves them.. Went out to buy a big old truck as we finally got jobs in the town we live ( traveled around 150 miles a day to our old jobs ). My wife's eye was caught by a mini at the back end of the dealership and after a quick test drive i had to say bye bye to my dreams of a truck... Longer story short, the wife now has to settle for driving the jeep as i will not let her get her hands on my new best friend..

Picked up a 2011 Cooper S and the plasti-dip has already started. Looking forward to spending all my hard earned cash on this little diamond..

You are a Fiat owner who is a MINI wannabe stalker.

I may be new here and not with it but I have no idea what the "fiat" joke is.. .. I do love the way you jump on me for the "pic-less" post... I have my pics ready to go but due to my lack of computer skills it may take awhile for me to get them on, I have no clue how to upload yet....
