ACTUAL SIZE ... just wasn't enough

I've traded in High Performance for High Capacity...
My 95lb. British Golden Retriever has been happily ruling the rear of my '05 convertible for the past 3 years (and the Pepper White hardtop prior to that...) but we've got to make room for a new buddy due in the next few weeks.... two full-size 'big white dogs' just won't fit well in an 'Actual Size' MINI. I dropped it off at the Lexus dealer on Tuesday last week when I picked up the new RX Hybrid (Hendrick of course... they've been good to me with the MINI). When I was back on Friday for some after-market work they told me the MINI was already sold... so somebody out there will be enjoying a fully-loaded MINI-machine as soon as the rain stops.

Farewell my MINI friends..

We've been without Maggie for about seven years now, and we would probably never go back. Soooo ... personally, I think you got rid of the wrong item.

Cool you bought the hybrid. The wifey drives their IS350, they make a great car and that's a great dealership. Maintenance is outrageous compared to the MINI, but hey, it's part of the deal with a luxomobile.

Come hang with us once in a while anyway, at breakfast or lunch!

YOu know you don't have to say goodbye. I think everyone still would like to see you come out. You don't have to have a MINI to come hang out!!!

This thread brings a thought to mind of another MINI owner who moved on..

Has anyone heard any news of our founding president, George "mininc" ?

I couldn't stay away any longer and dumped the Lexuses (Lexi?) and returned to the loving embrace of a 2012 BRG droptop... lots of similarities, some differences. Have to update the sigblock
