Bidding a fond farewell...

Well, after two years, 45,000 miles, 3 speeding tickets, 4 sets of tires and 1533 gallons of gas, I'm saying goodbye to my MINI. I bought a BMW 135i (did a European Delivery of it in May--highly recommended) and took redelivery of it a couple weeks ago. Now I've sold my MINI, and I'm delivering it to its new owner tomorrow.

I'm really going to miss the MINI. It's an amazing car, and just a blast to drive. I'm impressed in how it steers, much quicker and with better feel than my 135i. I'll miss getting 30 mpg. I'll always remember it fondly, and if I'm ever in a position to own more than two cars, I hope to own one again.

I haven't posted here much lately, but I'll continue to lurk around, though I find myself spending more of my forum time on the BMW forums. You're a great group, and have been a phenomenal source of knowledge about my car.

Steve
