I borrow my husband's 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan to get all my landscaping supplies (plants, topsoil, mulch . . .) and we use it to drive the fam to Disney for vacations because it is tough squeezing luggage for 4 people into the boot of my Clubman. Although it can be jammed in, I can barely get it out!

I did use my MINI for a landscaping run one time, and people stopped and stared because they could not believe I could fit all the plants and mulch in the boot. But now I use the Honda because I would rather not get the boot so dirty.

when i want to be really loud, go fast(in a straight line), haul something, or pull something.

I like your Z WATKNS.

We used to love to go to Dog Beach over at Lover's Key when we lived in Bonita. I just wish the water had been cleaner.

Our Corgi loved Sanibel. She even found a tennis ball, which made her infinitely happy.

When I'm not driving my Mini, I'm in one of these three cars. Either my 04 CTS-V, my 87 Monte SS or my 91 Vette

What I Drive

My '02 MCS is my daily driver.
When I'm in the mood to drive a car with more grunt I drive my '36 Chevy Coupe Streetrod (327 crossram, 5 speed).



If I am traveling with the family or towing my boat, I drive my wifes '08 Buick Enclave.

You ride a two wheeled motorcycle and you drive a sidecar rig.
Ducatis are cool!

A '09 Mazdaspeed 3. It's my boyfriend's and he lets me drive it. Plus, he has snow tires on it and I haven't bought any for the MINI yet. I've got a longer commute, so on snow days I take the Mazda.

A 2010 Kia Soul SE3 Shadow Dragon, my Husbands Rig. I only drive it when I have to pick him up at the Cart Corral when out shopping, because he parks out in BFE too!!
