NEW TO NAM ALSO

My wife and I are new to this forum. How did we get here?

In May 2007, My wife had two final choices on cars; A Red VW Beetle Convertible or a Chili Red Mini Cooper Convertible. She made a bad choice.
I am stuck driving the bad choice.

In September 2007, My wife decided that she needed Mini Cooper for her business. We checked out various dealers and Morristown Mini seemed to have the best price. My wife couldn't pick out a color. How about INIMINI MINY MOE?

A 2007 Pepper White, Black Top MCS was born on 9/11. It now has INIMINI (NJ) Plates.

We've been to two Halloween events and two Clubmen events so far. My daughter was the one dancing with the American Girl Doll at the Morristown Clubman Event.

We are scheduled to go to the Carlisle Show and to MINIS On Top 2008.

We love the MINI, The People Who Love the MINI, and the MINI Events.

We live in Jersey City, NJ.

Thank you for your time,
Lorin, Jocelyn and Larisa

P.S. Surf Taco is that 6:30 or 7:00 PM on the 29th.

Welcome to MINI World! And congratulations on correcting your mistake so quickly. I'm sure you will not regret your decision.

I've have found both remakes (VW & MINI) to be interesting in that they each took different tacks on the whole retro idea. VW stuck with the quirky little car that is just that - a quirky little car. But BMW decided to take the cute little car and remade it into a cute little CAR! It's cute and at the same time beautiful. And yet it is definitely 100% car. It's quick and fast and handles like an extension of the driver.

I have never had more fun and another automobile in all my life, and I hope that your experience is the same.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the MINI. You're a better husband than I am - I couldn't make myself drive a Bug convertible!

6:30, 7:00 it does not matter, we usually hang around for a couple of hours at this time of year. Eat, Drink and talk MINI.

Oh, and welcome to NAM.
