Thanks

4 door GTI. Lots of goodies. Since the picture the body kit has been color matched and it is sporting Jline 2 pice wheels now instead of the BBS.

Here's what shares the driveway with the mini (we don't have a garage), and the reason for my SN. . .

Our (it was my turn to get a vehicle, yet the wife uses it daily) MINI shares the garage with an 05-Town & Country (you guessed it - I drive the van) and a Suzuki C50 motorcycle.

My 2005 Tahoe Z71 was replaced by our MINI. It didn't really fit in the garage though with the van and motorcycle. I'm a firm believer of using the garage to protect one of the larger investments (vehicles) we buy.

My husband's '77 MG Midget (HIS toy, bought after we placed the order for my MINI). His 2000 Ford Ranger is currently living in the driveway. He's thinking about selling/trading the truck for something smaller, so we can fit all three in our garage! (I'm not sure how that is going to work!)

That's quite an extreme mix of vehicles you have there !

Sorry... but I wouldn't let the Gremlin get too close to the MINI. I'd be afraid what it has might be contagious.

My 06 MCS shares the garage with an 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (Hemi power). Need it to tow the boat and haul the dogs. For everything else, there's the MINI.

A lot of interesting combinations here. In our stable (between my wife and myself) we have the '05 MCS, '06 GP, '01 Corvette Convertible, '05 Corvette Coupe, and '06 Trailblazer SS. Last weekend we had a new Hummer H2 in front of the house, too (on loan from the dealership for our daughter's wedding!) ... Well, that's what we have around the house, at present
