This actually happened:

My wife and I were driving around nowhere special last night. The weather was really freezin' (minus 15 c - we're in Canada, remember). The roads were dry, and the air was cold and crisp.

The MINI was really responsive. She likes the cold air, I guess.

I was having such a good time manouvering the MCS, and feeling so good that (and I don't know what possessed me except MINI-happiness) I turned to Cindy and said:

"D'ya wanna drive?"

She responded:

"You're kidding, right?"

I said "no, I'm serious". She declined right then, but will hold me to it, likely tomorrow.

It's not that I don't share - but my MINI is, well my MINI. And I'm protective. OTOH, she'll love it, but can't have it. After all, she's got the Pathfinder.

HA!

I understand....Mine just turned 2100 miles, and I bet my wife has put less than 10 of those on her

Smiley belongs to Laurie so my seat time in her is limited. Maybe 200 mi out of the 1200 on the clock.

I did get to take her out last night and get to play in the cold. :smile:
