Need ideas from the ladies on the best way to surprise my wife with her new mini on Christmas morning? I've had it stored in a trailer for the past 3 weeks, can't wait to get it on the road.

 

Hide a key in her purse and send her out for something, then go there and swap the car while she is inside.

Or go somewhere with Valet and have them swap it.

 

Have a friend park it in the driveway late on Christmas Eve after she falls asleep. Put a red bow around it. This is how I did it for my Daughters first car. Worked like a charm. I sent her outside to get the newspaper (that I left there from the day before). We quietly followed her outside. She stopped in her tracks, stared at the car and started screaming. One of those priceless moments she will never forget.

 

Yes, you definitely have to have the big, red bow!!!

I have a big red bow. Sending her out to car sounds like a good idea. thanks.

 

Must take a video and share. Let us know how it goes.

 

Thi spost made me smile. Then I saw it was convertible and smiled more. Then I saw it was a JCW, at leassst in body kit and a really wide smile You go dude!

I know you will come up with a great to give it.

 

My parents gave me a 68 VW Beetle for graduation from high school. They had it parked in the garage and asked me to pull another car in. When the garage door opened, there was my little black bug.

 

Will do.

 

Great looking MINI! She will absolutely love it!

 

First you need a really, really big stocking.

 

Thanks, I do think its a beauty. I've never seen a new JCW convertible in person, at the time I ordered it. Dealer didn't have any in stock. When it arrived I was surprised at how unique it looked. Better then what I was expecting. She currently drives a base model honda civic for work (sales, she is on road all day). She tells me every week that she does not like it (but it's good on gas). I figured she can drive this for work on nice days and we can take it out together when it's 'date night'. With 3 kids it's not the most practical purchase.

 

It may not be practical, and I get that because I have kids as well, but it shows you were thinking ALL about her. What girl would not be moved by that! Talk about brownie points dude.

Good luck and thanks for raising the bar.

 

Well my friend practical doesn't always make for the best of life's experiences, anyone can stand around saying one day when etc etc etc happens then ill do it , you jumped in both feet and said i'm not waiting my life away i'm doing it . so well done to you its an amazing looking car and i'm sure your wife will go crazy (in a good way ) when she see's it i agree we need to see a video lolol , Merry Christmas !!!!

 

:popc orn:: popcorn:

 

That's what I would consider making a very large deposit in her emotional bank account. It will no doubt be a hit.

think she liked it

 

Very cool!

One small nitpick--your video says JCWs only come in manual trans, but you can get an auto JCW these days...

 

don't tell my wife that please it would have been a sin to get that car in a manual trans.

 

Way to go mate! I have pepper white dash surfaces on my JCW as well and I grow fonder of it everyday. Thanks for sharing and hope you guys continue to have a happy holidays this season!

Awesome delivery sir! Well played! IT will surely be remembered for a lifetime.

FANTASTIC!! I cried with her... I told you she would be moved by it. Good job you did very well, and I hope she gets many years of motoring out of it.

Lolo
