If anyone was on the northeast extention of the PA turnpike last night you may have heard one big, long YIPEE !!!!! I picked up my MCS from Don Rosen Mini last night and it was one of the best rides I have had in my life !

I have been waiting since the first week of May for my baby to come home and last night was the night. What a sweet car ! I would like to thank everyone here for the thoughtful and entertaining comments about their Minis while I waited and waited and . . . . waited for mine. Best of luck to all of you and I'll be posting pictures ASAP.

Happy Holidays !

Marty

Hey congrats! Just be careful today...I know you'll want to motor joyfully, but if your weather is anything like it is at this end of the state, you've got an inch of ice on the roads!

Too bad for the Ice... the PA Turnpike is a great place to do a quick speed test when there are no other cars around, of course.

Yup. The State Policeman is always happy to tell you exactly how fast you were going! Oh, wait you've got the CB - I never know where they're at....

Yes, it IS the best feeling I've had in a long time ! I'm looking out the window now and there is about an inch of ice and snow on the poor baby. Looks like one of the MG's will have to stay outside from now on.

OK everyone . . . let's all sing Happy Birthday to HARMINI !

Excellent! I'm in Stroudsburg. Check the Mid-Atlantic regional area for Pa road rally info. I'm hoping to get another eastern PA thing going in the spring. or maybe even a Ski trip!

Welcome aboard!
