I will have had my MCS for 7 weeks tomorrow and thus far have put 1800 miles on it, mostly weekend jaunts here or there around the state of Wisconsin. I think what started these MINI mini trips was the first one we took to get a loaf of bread. We stopped 75 miles later. Good bread. I never thought getting a loaf of bread could be such a great adventure, almost forgetting the excuse for taking the MINI out in the first place. Then I discovered I didn't need any excuse other than the pure pleasure of driving my MCS.

Well, my wife has been bitten by the MINI bug. After having my MCS around, she wanted her own. I emailed my MA a couple of days ago to see what he had in stock or coming in as an MC PW/B. As luck would have it he has almost the exact MINI coming in without the rear fog in three weeks. WOW! In fact it's sitting on the dock in Oxford! We can live without the rear fog.

So before long we're going to be a two MINI family. His and hers! The neighbors are going to think we're crazy.

 

Congrats on the soon to be new addition.

 

My wife picked out the MINI from a car mag annual reports and just said thats what I want!

Keeping the spouse happy always has its dividends!

 

Tell her Welcome to the 2 MINI club Our neighbors have thought we are crazy for a LONG time - LOL!!

One more welcome from a current 2 MCS family. It makes sharing the MINI so much easier! I caught the bug from my wife.

 

You're not crazy (or alone); we're a two MINI family too .

 

We would be a 2 MINI family if we didnt have so many darn kids!

 

Ah, kids grown and gone. No more soccer games, choir practice.....just motoring in the MINI. Or it will be MINIs. This also keeps peace on who gets to drive which car.

 

My wife was bitten too. See Sig, hers is the classic

Yes, well, I always wanted a MINI, and finally got mine last November, much to the (initial) dismay of my fiance...Now, next time HE buys a new car, he's said he would like to seriously consider a MINI too!

This car is SO good at making friends

 

retrofit of the rear fog is pretty simple...you lucked out

 

We would be a 2 MINI family if we didn't have so many darn DOGS!!!

We work with a Greyhound rescue group and have four of our own. The week after I took delivery of my 2005 MC, I had to run the wife down to the MINI dealer to assess her options. She wanted one bad and had three on the lot picked out, but chose not to 'cause she didn't feel she could get enough dogs in the back.

I think she still wants one bad, but is waiting to see what the Travler might offer.

Who knows, we might be a 2 MINI family in a few years...

 

If you get rid of the rear seats, you could probably get 4 dogs in the back.

 

Way too late for that!!! haahahahahaha

Us too. The mrs. just ordered her Cabrio and it should be here in about 10 weeks. I've had a MINI for about 3 yeras now and she just finally decided that she wants one too...

2 MINI family here!!!

 

We had two greyhounds and three CRX's a few years ago. Just ordered a MCS (on the boat yesterday) and will be using it to transport the long legged sleep-aholics.
I bet you can get all 4 in there without a real issue.

 

I think that's great!!! Who can blame her for wanting one of her own?

 

This is a good thing. It should make it easier to add things here and there to the MINI without having to explain or justify it. I think you guys out there know what I'm talking about.

 

TGI Single

 

Wink, wink....nod, nod! Say..........no.........more!!

 

I have 2 MINIs and I'm single (one is for Sale) tell the wife great color choice.

 

Having two large dogs (well not St. Bernard large but 100 and 70 pounds), it not so much getting in them there but rather the damage they can easily do. Claws can easily tear the leather, scuff up the plastic and of course the pup, the 100 pound male, constantly wants to sit in the front (yeah right). Its just not that simple. Nope, dogs are not allowed in the MINI if you want the MINI interior to remain pristine.

 

When the bug bites it bites hard. I have an 05 CR/B MCS CROC#4, wife just got a 06 HB/W MC and I am eyeballing a PW MC Cabrio right now!

 

I want to be a 2 family mini also, but the inconvience of getting service is what has kept me from selling my vehicle and ordering a 2nd mini, we have to drive 3 hrs to the dealer to get service.

 

We're about 75 minutes from one dealer and 2.5 hours from the dealer we bought from, so this didn't stop us from buying a second one. Besides, MINIs never break, do they???!!!!

 

I have a similiar story too. My GF ordered hers about 2 years ago in '04. I just bought my MCS, and her brother is buying an MCS in a month! Geez! never would have thoughtmy GF to be the one who would start it all!
