Two new, three old. Never been less than a two Mini household, I guess.

BCNU,

Congrats on picking up the new ride and can't wait to see it up close next week.

Us, too!

It didn't take us long - just a few weeks after getting hers, I knew I needed to get my own. I couldn't get my "fix" driving it when I could come up with some excuse to run to the store at night.

Now we've got two, plus the SUV for the utility needs. It's been a blast when we take both of them out or we meet for lunch somewhere and manage to park them next to each other. Like someone else said, it's like a mini-MINI parade!

When the cabrio's came out, my honey had to have one. Since then, we're a two MINI family too. It's great to have a mini MINI caravan.

p.s. We've got a one-car garage. We measured that if it were only 5 feet longer, we could fit both cars in there!

We got it! Pick up date is set for next Wed (the 19th). I don't know who's more excited my son or me! I confess, it's him; he's talking mods already!

Specs: 04 MC Indi Blue w/ Black, CVT, Packages 1, 2 & 3, HK, anthracite dash and some dealer add ons - rear fog, armrest, boot mat, etc with 11,700 miles.

Better pictures next week

Man, your son's ride looks too good to be true. Glad you were able to get such a good car for him. Should last him until you retire...again

Thanks man! One can only hope it'll last that long or I'll only have to work that much more!

We will be a two MINI family once we pay off the Xa in a couple years. Who knows what color combo's will be available at that point but right now my wife is drooling over both the Purple Haze and the Pepper White. :impatient
