It's a sad time indeed. Had to sacrifice the MINI for family transportation needs. I've owned 3 MINIs in a row and it will be difficult to adjust to not having one in the garage. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of my motoring, and all the time spent with you good folks. (Have I really been here 5+ years????).
I suspect that there will be another MINI in my future ( Countryman All4) but for now I'll be driving a Highlander.
Enjoy your rides, good people.

 

Know how you feel. A vintage TR and XK-E roadster went in favor of a couple of Caprice wagons on which we put somewhat over 400K building great family adventure memories. Now those kids are off making their own memories and us two who remain are back with another drophead coupé (see signature below) seeking out further adventures. Take heart, the good times will unfold and eventually bring you back.

 

OP, now you're a MINI sleeper cell. You can help sway popular opinion about MINI from across enemy lines.

You should be "that guy" who comes into MINI showrooms just to oogle and drool.....

 

If there were a MINI showroom within 3 hours of me, I'd be there. Sadly, there is not.

 

I was "that girl" for several years!

Best wishes to you, NMgokart! We'll leave the light on for ya.

 

Take it easy Gary. I'll put your scoop to good use!!

Sad but you will be back in time.

Enjoy and add to the discussion, you have a wealth of knowledge gained with 5+ yrs and 3 MINIs.

 

Oh man, can't you just sell the kids?

 

I tried that m'self but the gypsies were only offering 35¢ at the time. Don't know what the going rate is now but it can't be much more than that.

 

Sometimes size rules, sorry to see you go.
