Hi SMSgt Bo, No I haven't picked a name yet. I have a few names but
my husbands doesn't like any of them. LOL
I know Waldmohr. I go walking out there all the time. Is your car Red?

My wife picked out Quicksilver. I would have gone with Blitzen (german for lightning) but it's her car so she got to pick.

Waldmohr is a pretty nice town but there's too many Americans.

Our Mini is silver and lives most of its life in the garage. My wife won't let it out during the winter nor when it rains. Its only road trip was to Mini United last month. We have a Nissan Xterra we use for trips and to haul the dog around in.

We hope to see you around when your new baby arrives.

Ah, to be so young, and so naive....

Having your warranty run out while your car is still unmodded is a lot like being a 60 year old virgin.

You've officially become one of my favorite people for calling me "young"; would that it were true. Middle age seems to have snuck up on me.

Bling Bling party sounds perfect--I will admit to already having a few embellishments on order for Higgins.

My MINI is my one and only and goes where I go...and he doesn't complain either--the more I drive, the better he likes it!

No doubt.... With all the rain we have had lately the MINI never comes out to play.

MINI enjoys splashing in the puddles and other cars!

Ours does too, I just can't convince my wife.

We did our hot laps at Zandvoort in the rain and the car was glued to the track. It didn't hurt that we ditched the runflats for ultra high performance all weathers before the trip. I think my wife gained a new respect for the car's capabilities that day.
