One more smiling MCs owner
Hi everybody! Where to start? I returned to the US on December 8 after living and working in Taipei, Taiwan for 6 & ½ years. I ordered my MCs the very next day and retired four days later. My MINI is dark silver with white top and “bling” (chrome) mirror caps. Also, it has most of the packages except JCW. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, last week I drove the car out of the dealer showroom (literally). I have owned a lot of cars and love to drive hard (not fast) when it is safe to do so. There is nothing like pushing a corner and all I can say is the MCs is the best ever at that. I am so glad that I am retired with lots of time for happy motoring. I think 22 hours par day might be enough but I am not sure yet. It is just too hard to turn the motor off. My wife and I plan on attending the MINI’s on the Dragon. 318 corners in 11 miles, what fun! Since we live in Chattanooga, TN the Dragon is almost in our back yard. I hope to see some of you there. Until then, HAPPY MOTORING TO ALL!!
