That is, like, the longest sentence in the world. I guess the space bar does not work either. BTW, what is a "bpyfriend" ?

Compared to SUVs or a Ford Taurus, MINIs are still a rare car. And the shape is unique.

BUT, if you think people stare at the '02, you should see people stare at the classic!

I just had someone ask me what kind of car it was a few days ago. Probably about the 5th person to ask that. I cant imagine not knowing what a MINI is.

Your co-worker is just not observant. I live in Houston and I see at least five or six minis each week, not always the same ones. I know the ones in my part of town but I never fail to see a new one when driving downtown or to the Galleria. Yesterday I saw a pure silver and Saturday I saw a Royal Grey. People just don't pay attention but she probably notices your boyfriend's because is't bright red. It stands out in our sea of white SUVs and pickups.

Welcome to NAM

Welcome to NAM macy.

Some folks just don't see cars. To them they are faceless transportation pods. You & your boyfriend need to do what all us NAMers do. Educate them to the joys of motoring.

Hey Macy...

Welcome to NAM! I just spent a week in Houston and it seems to me that would be a great city for motoring. If you get a chance, please post pictures of your boyfriend's Mini. All of us would like to see it.

Chuck

One might ask you the same question.

There was a time not long ago when new members were welcomed here. Looks like that is coming to an end. Sad stuff really.

Welcome to NAM, macy. When I drove from Cali to Florida in October, I actually didn't see a MINI after I was out of Cali until I was almost in Houston! Ignore those that have been less than welcoming to you and enjoy the site.

Welcome to NAM!

I'm lucky...I see 3 other MINIs everyday on the same street where I work. A PW/B, CR/W, and a B/B.(in Omaha) But, unfortunately my wife drives our MCS...so I have to settle for watching her pull-out of the driveway and sneeking a peek in the garage once and a while. Of course we usually take the MINI when we go somewhere together...so I get to drive it then.
