After only 8 months, it might be time to come back to Mini

It was just 8 months or so ago, that I said goodbye to NAM and my Mini of 9 years. I wasn't driving it, so it did not make sense to keep after I bought a new Dodge Challenger Scat Pack.

Well, I lost my work at home job in NH, and am looking at positions in Mass, that I will need to drive 5 days a week.

So I am looking a putting a used/certified R59 Roadster S in the garage to make the commute to Mass more enjoyable.

All I need to do now, is find one with LOW miles, and a Manual transmission...

Good choice!!

Even if the MINI doesn't go out as much as you'd like, it's still a fun weekend toy!

I did the same last summer, and even if mine barely had 5000km driven, I don't regret it for a second! The RX350 is our family car, and when I want to threat myself and my 4yo daughter, we take the MINI to her gym lessons... In a few years, I'm sure my 3 months old boy will enjoy the MINI as much 🚗😋

I have 2 AWD cars (land Rover & Audi) for bad weather days. The other days, the Mini can do it.

Why not just drive the land rover and audi? Sell the scat pack before the demon comes out.
