My MINI's first love letter, sorta

i found this note on my windshield:

"hi. I wanted to know if you are interested in selling your car. I would like to buy a Mini. Let me know if you are."

i'm not ready to let go of my car. is there a nyc mini "dating" service? he seems like a nice guy.

Any idea who left this? Was there contact info??

Best I ever got was when my MINI was parked at the airport when I was once on a business trip. "Cool Car" was scribbled in the dust that had settled on the rear glass.

Awwww...that's cute to think of it as a first love letter. Um...when you ask "is there a dating service" you DO mean the MINIs dating, not the OWNERs, right?

Otherwise, I'd have to say you need to use this "love letter" as an opening gambit to "help" the person find a MINI.

You could guide him along if he is a lost soul. Or he maybe misguided and think used will be a lot cheaper than new!

Someone really liked my MINI one time. So much that they decided to kiss the driver side windshield (thankfully, I did not witness this). After more than a few washes I can still see the remnants of the lips... Kinda freaked me out.
