Hi everyone.

I just found you guys recently and I really haven't lurked long enough, but I had to share (and besides I wanted to introduce myself since the Bucks County PA Covered Bridge run sounds really cool).

I just got married a couple weeks ago (June 28th) and I arranged for a surprise wedding present to be sitting outside the chapel ... when they opened the doors Jenn saw for the first time the car of her dreams

a new Electric Blue 2003 MCS, White roof/wheels, cold weather and premium packages, leather seats, HK sound system, GPS system ... etc

She'd actually built it online with me, but thought we were just playing.

I have to admit I ABSOLUTELY love this car (it's much nicer than the Turbo Beetle of hers that I traded after a false but believable story that it had a blown turbo when I made it disappear the week before the wedding).

Anyway, Jenn fell in love with the original Mini when she lived in Germany during part of high school and I was totally psyched that I could pull off this awesome surpise.

We've only got 300 miles on her (since we were away for a couple weeks), but we're working on it!!!!!!

Looking forward to sharing lots of stories and learning a lot from everyone here.

Welcome to MCO, KevM

OK, so show us some wedding pictures...the ones with the car in 'em.

 

Welcome, and congratulations!!! The car sounds beautiful. Enjoy!

 

Wow! What a great story Kev!

Welcome to the MCO!

Happy motoring and have a wonderful time as newly weds!

 

Welcome, Kev and congrats on the wedding! What a thoughtful husband you are! Hope you guys can make it to the Bucks County run!

 

Thanks for the kinds words and the hellos.

As requested...



As for the Bucks County run, things are pretty hectic, but I'll tell Jenn about it tonight and I betcha she's going to want to make time.

This is the sweetest story - what a great guy you are :smile: :smile: :smile:

Chow!

Welcome to MCO Kev and Jenn!
What a brilliant man you are for doing something so thoughtful and MINI-ish! A totally fabulous idea.... kudos!
Great pic ...oh, and you guys look good too
If you're ever in Maryland, near Annapolis...give us a jingle....MINI owners are always welcome!

 

KevM-
Aloha and welcome to MCO,
It's great to hear from you and thanks for sharing your MINI story and excellent picture.
You'll be telling your grandkids about that one for many years.
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your baby.
We are here for you!

 

Beautiful pics and congrats!
Welcome to the world of Minis
and marriage!

 

A big welcome from me, too! Isn't it great when you can help someone's dreams come true? I hope you life together is filled with much, much happiness.(...and a good bit of motoring, too! ) I'll can only imagine how shocked your bride must have been!

 

Congrats, Kev! You rock!

 

 

That is very cool. I'm so impressed that you were able to keep it a secret... I never would have been able to pull that off... You are the man!!

Congratulations!
Charles

 

WOW, what a great welcome. I don't know what to say, but I'll come up with something. Actually, I hope you guys like long-winded posts, cause once you get me started (well, you'll find out).

Don't give me toooo much credit. I mean, Jenn makes it easy to want to do something like that. And, honestly, I was quite tickled with the plan. Though friends have pointed out I've pretty much set myself up when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries.

 

"What a guy!" Wow, you've really set yourself up now! Start saving now for that three stone ring for your first anniversary! No, really what a guy! Great story and welcome to the family of MCO

 

Welcome to MCO KevM

You just put a BIG smile on my face. What a story, what a little fibbin' devil you are!!! What a start to a great life together.

We would be honored to have the newbie-weds at the Bucks County ride. There are a couple of stops along the way, so maybe you could come for even half of the day. And just to assure you, there will be at least one other MINI that is still in the break-in period, so we'll be sure to take it easy on ya. Hope to see you and Jen there.

Cheers,
Kim

 

 

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i got my ex-g/f a hotwheels racecar on our 2nd anniversary.....i got nothing....dammit

 

So sweet!! If I were the bride, I must have gone crazy!! I'm also new to this forum, too!! HELLO everybody!! I am going to pick up my MINI this weekend!! Can't wait any longer. Very exciting

 

Ohhhhhh....that's so sweet of you to give such a thoughtful gift to your new bride.

The pic is great too. Congrats to you, your bride...and the MINI.

 

And no doubt the newlyweds will be stopping to kiss under each covered bridge!!!

Congratulations. And by the way, giving her a MINI is the easy part. Letting her be the one to drive it every day is going to be harder.

Welcome to MCO!

 

Thanks again everyone!

Tira - congrats, have fun this weekend.

Deli - NO KIDDING... at least she lets me drive it when were going someplace together (she even said she might let me take it once and a while during the week, if I have a lot of driving to do). Guess I need to call in sick and go driving.

 

Congrats to both of you and welcome. What about the honeymoon? In a MINI

 

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL

It's been a couple of years.

Actually to be accurate it's been about 80,000 awesome miles, 2 sets of stock tires, one set of Blizzaks, two sets of stock brake pads and rotors, one set of "dustless" (yeah right) EBC pads and a whole-lotta fun.

We've got a Navigation System problem, so I thought I'd drop by and see if any of the really smart people here can help. I've got a couple of ideas.

I'll start a new thread on it.
