happy motoring to all!!

more MINIs to come!

well put

just curious...

Just out of curiousity... how old are all of you? Sometimes I just like to put some sort of 'face' to who I'm talking to! I like that some of you have posted your pics Seems like MINI owners are such a diverse group...

I'm 25 (26 in 2 weeks!) btw...

nice! It's good to know there are some other 20-somethings here.. I went to the MINI rally here in SoCal last weekend and it was like all older (not old... just 'older') people.... and I thought am I the only young'in with a MINI!? So okay, I feel better now...

Today marks 1 week that I've had my MINI! Already 650 miles on it...

First thanks for the compliments on the pics of Goliath.

I'm 63, retired and loving every minute of it with my wife of 42 years.

Today we took Goliath and cruised about 60 miles slid back the sun/moon roof, put on the radio and relaxed.

Lifes just GREAT.

I am 23 (24 in Dec) and my wife is 22. I'll work on getting a pic in the gallery sometime soon. Glad to see that we are all getting our vehicles now. Don't be stingy with the pictures!

hey rachaelstarr,
i'm 38 and my wife's 39. i mean, my wife's 29, for the 10th straight year. ok, so we're old(er) but not too old for the mini. it makes us feel young at least. and we get better insurance rates at this age! ours is dark silver too, so love your color choice...
happy motoring!
cameron

Turns out you can fit a LOT in a MINI! I had two six foot long boxes waiting at the UPS Store and managed to fit them both in Max!

Kaja,

Love your MINI!!!!!!!!!!!

Who from wk38 is still missing their MINI?

All I know is I can't wipe the smile off my face every time I see my MINI. I hope the rest of you are the same way.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I counted the hours and ended up leaving work earlier than planned to go get Mitzi, good luck keeping busy until your appointment psb :D

And I really doubt this smile on my face is going away anytime soon, my Mini is just FUN. Now I have to restrain myself until Saturday, going to take our first motoring trip, down to Seattle, across the water on the ferry and a trip around the Olympic Penninsula, down to Olympia and back. Seattle rain and all!
