I'm back...

I thought I could do it.

I thought that after selling my 05 MCS JCW I could be a good citizen and go back to going around corners at reasonable speeds.

Then about a week ago I drove past the MINI dealership and stopped for old times sake. I took out an 06 MCS just for fun.

I should have known what would happen...

My 06 MCS JCW is on the way.

Perhaps we need to start a 12 step program.... understanding your MINI compulsion.

Welcome Back!

Good thing you recognized that you were powerless and succumbed. Life will be better, now.
Love that Astro Black, awesome color.

You can take the person out of the MINI, but you can NEVER take the MINI out of the person!

This is scary. I've suffered from MG addiction since I was a teenager. Now I see that it is nearly impossible to get over the MINI habit as well. Thank God that there are "institutions" for people like us: Mid-Ohio, Road America, VIR, Beaver Run, Deal's Gap, etc., etc.
