A 2nd MINI in the family - a Cabrio this time

This one is for my wife. She's been wanting a red convertible since I have known her, and now she has a 05 MCSa Cabrio. We found one with only 28K miles on the clock. Looks and drives like new. It has the premium package, sport package, cold weather package, leather. All kinds of goodies.

This is the second Mini in the family. Her Chili Red cabrio is a stable mate to my '10 Laser Blue MCSa.

Pix later when there is some daylite. We just got it today, and she is thrilled!!

OK. So it took a while. I know cars, and bikes, and photography has always been done with film. Remember that stuff??? So it's taken a bit for me to learn some of the ways of digital pix. Not as easy as thought it was going to be.

Seen here, is a picture of my wife's new 9 (to her) '05 Chile RED MCSa Cabrio. In addition to all the goodies mentioned earlier, she's got chrome wheels and the chrono gauge package.

Next to her car is my '10 MCSa, laser blue w/ aero, premium, and sports packages.

Lurking in the background is my other toy, a '76 Alfa Romeo GT coupe.

More good news, is my wife is starting to understand some of the joys of motoring. She actually wants to drive places now, rather than hand me the keys to the old family ride (Honda CR-v), which was a fine, useful and reliable beast of burden. It's just that fun, and handling weren't in its repertoire.
