Goodbye :-(

Time has come to say goodbye to the MINI Community. I sold my beloved 2010 last week...not because I wanted to but because I needed another change in my life as well as practicality. Hence, the R56 is gone and replaced with a Toyota Tacoma Access Cab 4WD TRD Sport.

I wish you all the best, thanks for everything you've all done for me. The memories are priceless, as well as MINI.

Pat

10Zero (Pat) I have a feeling that you will be back driving a MINI in time, when conditions allow... till then good fortune to you and like wandrur says, "that doesn't mean you have to leave us... "

BTW, whomever purchased your 2010 MINI sure got a sweet ride!

Good call on the Toyota.. I have been driving Toyota 4x4 trucks for 25 years... Have had 4 of them, and have never been let down...

Sabre, you're probably right...but my long term plan is to own another "classic" again...I've had 3 in the past.

azminiman, dead on! I have a 99 4Runner at home (wife) and an 08 Yaris (daughter)...they NEVER let me down. Been owning Toyotas since my first one in 1983 (a used 1980 4x4 PU). Love the hell out of em.

But, I equally miss my MINI...just needed this right now in my life. Couldn't be happier, but I know I'll miss the MINI, especially mine!

Understand the need for a change. Your MINI should find a new home soon or has already.

Enjoy the taco and come back when you can.

A nice truck on a MINI ride would be fine too.
