getting a MINI!

Figured it was time to post here...I've met many of y'all since I sometimes come to dinners with my husband, roadodendron on NAM. Well, it is finally time to get me a new car, and I looked around, and even though a R56 isn't quite as pretty as Rita IMHO, it still beat the crap out of everything else I considered, so on Feb. 16 I placed an order for a MINI...and it is supposed to arrive in mid-April! I just found out today that its bday should be Mar. 4.

I'm looking forward to joining you all on runs...at the slowest tail end though, takes me forever to get used to a different car and it is a MCa after all.

Congratulations! Nice color choice. Alot of the fun buying a new MINI is the order itself and then tracking the progress of production and shipment of your new MINI.

Fun . . . yeah fun. So that's what the descent into madness is called.

The new baby is home, got a couple quick pics in my gallery, will get better ones soon.

I really like it, will take some time getting used to...want to go play w/ it now but we're really tired and roadodendron has to get up early. Finally the wait is over!
