Has anyone dumped a huge obnoxious vehicle to buy a MINI. I did. I just sold my 2000 Ford F150 pickup with a 5.4L V8 for a MINI COOPER, Green w/white top and mirrors, sport package, premium and cold weather. Its gonna rock! Let's here stories of others that have been redeemed! :smile:

My current daily driver is an '88 Isuzu Trooper (4 cyl.), but we're keeping it for, ahem, "utility" purposes.

Cheers!

It is scheduled to reach California on the 26th. I have to fly from Seattle to Utah to pick it up. I am hoping by mid-September. I am pysched you are picking your's up, enjoy!


As far as being redeemed. I just got fed up with all of the excesses. Fuel, size pollution. Less is more.

Let's motor

Dropped my Ford SVT LIghtning out of the picture, bascially for my Cooper'S'. There were a few other reasons for the swap, but I'm finally getting over the initial shock of NOT having that kinda of power any longer. But it's still worth it to some degree. Congrads though.
