Gina is selling her 2006 MINI JCW...

Gina just picked up her new car yesterday an Audi RS4 (A 420HP AWD MONSTER!!!)... Now she's selling her JCW with only 10,000 miles...

What do you feel is the best venue for selling her MINI...

Oh no... I had a bad feeling when you guys went off yesterday to look at Audis...

I think you should keep it anyway. Sell the "Escapé" instead!

However, if the mind is made up... you can always list it in the NAM "MINIs and Minis for Sale" Marketplace.

The Escape is my company vehicle so it's a freebee and doesn't belong to me... I think Gina will pick up a used MINI convertable... At least that's what she has on her mind for this minute...

I pray each day a meteor will crush my MINI and my insurance agent will help me buy a "new" 2006 JCW MCS to replace my 2003.

Still hasn't happenned yet though. . . .

That's good... she'll have something to drive while the Audi is in the shop...

(somebody had to say it... and as a former Audi owner, it may as well be me...)

If they're here.

Bummer to hear that you are selling the MINI, but if you are going to replace it with a cabrio...then I can forgive you guys! Yeah, Guess I shouldn't have come over with Cecilia!
Hope her Mom likes the new beast.

Yeah, but it doesn't have the Sunroof feature... and I know that Gina loves that!

Psssst... we're trying to keep them in the club. STOP THAT!

NICE! But... what kind of mileage does it get?

Seriously though, I haven't spent a lot of time in Audis, but what little time I have spent has been very impressive. I have one particular Audi (& Porsche) loving friend who first exposed me to them... but he and his wife live in Colorado now.

Depends on who's driving... Gina got the average above 20mpg... But when Mr. Leadfoot got behind the wheel it dropped to 14mpg... It's truly a beast right now and that's with the computer limiting the HP to 300hp and 7000rpm during break in... As soon as the speedometer clicks 1000 miles you get all 420hp and 8000rpm... CAN YOU SAY ROAD TRIP

LOL remember, you can't use the "go-kart" excuse with the officer when driving the Audi.

The only Audi I have ever been was the one I was born in! Nope, don't laugh, I really was!

That was Gina's new ride... We are both very active members of the PCA... I'm on the autocross team plus I'm the Tour Master, Publicity Chair and the Insurance Chair... Keeps us VERY busy...

When I had the pleasure of Gina's company riding in WINO on the Covered Bridges Cruise, she kept commenting on how much she liked the convertible.

I don't know, Gina... the Audi looks pretty comfy but you need a MINI to keep up the fun factor!

I thought that might be the same one. I love the way that car looks. a guy I know was running his SVT focus there. I was going up 95 and happened to look over and see a couple of cars on the course so, I hung a uuuyy at the next exit and came by to watch. Looked like a lot of fun
