Billy Joel is getting a Mini
Well if your into gossip read:
Today I am in NY visiting my old stomping ground and we stopped by a mini dealer hoping to see some of the new 05 options. We found Billy Joel shoping for a Mini for a young gal. I think it was his daughter. Billy wants an automatic for her. She does not like the Purple Haze "its too purple".
Billy came in driving a Russian made motorcycle with side car. He was sporting the driving goggles that you would expect to see with this motorcycle.
:smile: Very cool!

The bike was most likely a Ural, Russian made BMW copy - very cool bikes....
And you'd think Billy would be getting the MINI for himself, especially as it's such a safe car and he has a tendancy to run into things...

Anyone know if he is getting an MC or MCS with that automatic?
I'd guess an MC with CVT.
Good choice Billy!

Yeah but I've had a crush on ole Chuck since the 2ND GRADE when I met him because my teacher was marrying his stunt man. I will never forget that day...

Very true. In regards to this subject, someone once mentioned that... "it's not the age, it's the stage". Yes, very true.

But maybe someday when your ship comes in, we'll understand what kind of guy you've been. And then you'll win.
