Took a drive today...

SO I took a drive to Vermont and back and on the way home there was a minivan wth two older ladies in the front. I stopped at a light and they were behind me and one pointed at my car and the other reacted and laughed. I assume she was looking at my HUGE speedo It made me smile.

I also got alot of people pointing at me and telling the person they were with I assume "look at that mini" even some construction workes pointed at me and shouted to their buddies. It was pretty cool.

Yeah I love the attention my mini gets too! It's like hanging out with the most popular kid at school, you just feel special for being with them. Also I LOVE the mini wave. I've gotten 4 so far and they just make me feel like I'm in a club ....oh wait!

Yeah, I've gotten great compliments from ages 4 - 80....the MINI is ageless! It's a strange feeling at first but I'm growing accustomed to it. There are no dealers in my area, closest is 2 hours away, so there's not many MINI's around. But I've gotten one wave and one headlight flash from fellow owners since I've had mine. But, I have gotten waves from guys in various classic cars, so I thought that was cool.
