2012 R59 Roadster is my wifes daily; 2014 F56S is my outside of work daily; 2010 Ford E250 is the money maker; 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI is the bad weather/off-road rig; and matching 2003 100th anniversary edition Ford Harley-Davidson F150 (supercharged) & Harley Davidson Sportster just for the hell of it.

An older (2001) Porsche 996 - kinda visible next to my new (well used - but new to me!) mini.

There are cars other than MINIs? Why? ;-)



Sometimes I need something smaller, 2009 Harley Nightster on the Galveston sea wall at sunrise, sweet!

My other ride.


It's a 1984 MCI Crusader II intercity transit bus converted into a motor home from new. The company didn't build a lot of units, but the ones they built went to country and western stars Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn each had one from this builder. It was built on spec for a female star, but sold to a man in Fl. I'm the 3rd owner, only 170,000 miles, hardly broken in. We live in this now, sold our home and are on a journey to cover the lower 48 +. Expect to find a place to build or buy a home in about 2 years or so.

Nice bus. A friend of mine owns Conway Twitty’s old bus. I have an ‘04 Country Coach but I’m not a full timer. Hopefully going to sell it this Friday.

My wife has a Nissan Leaf. The MINI is mine, but my son drives it more than I do.

I put more miles on these vehicles (~6000 a year) than on the MINI.

Touring bike that I put about half my bicycle miles on


Bickerton folding bike that I bought on a trip to China -- it (just) fits in the trunk of my R52 S, which I made sure of before buying the MINI


Single speed with Goose Island 312 Wheat Beer branding that I won from a raffle at a grocery store


My worn out dog being pulled in my homemade trailer


Surly Pugsley fat bike, mostly for winter

One of each generation. R53, R56 and F60. Now to find a way to trade the collector car for a classic Mini.

The white Challenger is gone. Replaced it Feb 17, 2018 with this:



2018 Challenger Hellcat. And yeah, it whines.
