I have been dating my gf for the past 8months or so, and only met her family for the first time this past holiday weekend. We went to her grandparents house, a very energetic couple in their 60s. They were thrilled to meet me, but soon became even more thrilled to meet my MINI. Turns out, my GF's grandmother has always admired the MINIs, but never really got to experience one up close. Of course, I let them look at mine inside and out. I even gave them the keys and told them to take it for a spin.

They came back a few minutes later, elated. So much so, as of this morning, they are proud new owners of a 05 PW/JB Cooper. I came across the car on eBay the other last night. Knowing they favored pepper white, I sent them the link. They called the dealer this morning and bought the car. (sorry if anyone on here was bidding on the car. )

Here are a couple pics from the auction
















Just wanted to share this little story with everyone. They are very excited, and I find myself being excited for them as well.. Oh yeah, I told them, before they purchased the car, They would have to swap me the anthracite headliner and pieces interior for my light grey headliner in order to cover my finder's fee.

 

Thats really cool!!

 

congratulations to the proud new MINI owners.

 

Interesting story. Congrats on their purchase!

 

Great story - thanks for sharing!

 

Could there be wedding bells in the future? You have made a deposit in the Karma bank big time.

You should make sure they have the link to this site and then they can read all about mini coopers.

Great little story...

 

That is COOL!!!!!
