Here's My Wife's

I got this originally for my wife to run around in, but it is now the car we drive when want to go somewhere to have fun.



We looked at the Mini's available at the dealer and this one stood out from all the others.

It has all the extras and the sound system blows away my other cars. It has the 5 speed auto, GPS maps, run flats - etc. We love it.

Our other vehicles...

If it is an S then would it not have the 6 speed auto?

It is great looking car indeed!

Thanks all, Yes - it is the 6 speed (typo).

We just rolled over the 5000 mile mark and my wife is still thinking of a name.

British Racing Green - We're open to suggestions....

The license number is "I M CUTE" . (the car - not me)

The only thing it needs is a wind screen. We like to drive along the coast in the evenings topless and playing a CD of ABBA at full volume.

For your windscreen needs check out Brownflyer's. I hear nothing but good things.

Which coast might you be referring to? If it's the left one, I'll keep an eye out for you....

Thanks but I live 60 miles north of San Francisco in the redwood trees. We're 20 miles away from Bodega Bay. Not much chance of a Mini-Wave.

Love that Porsche Cayenne. Really a hot SUV.
I am still waiting for my 911T.
Maybe in my next life
