GP0360 has been adopted

I have been meaning to post for the last few weeks. I finally got the time to sit down and do it.
GP0360 has a new home. It was quite by accident though. I had seen the car posted at a local dealership but had my eye on a 06 MCS. The MCS was a little more in my price range so I kind of put the GP out of mind. The wife and I made the trip to look at the MCS and found out they sold it the night before, bummer. So we looked around the area to see what else was out there. Nothing really caught my eye so on the way home I asked the wife if she minded making one more stop to look at the GP. I wanted to at least take it out for a test drive. At least I would be able to say I drove one. We took it out for a test drive, this was the first Mini that I had ever driven and needless to say I was hooked! A little haggling, an offer that was too good to pass up and off the lot we drove.
It is now my daily driver and I have found that the ride to work is just way to short and definitely lacking in the curve department!
