They Sold Their MINI!

I figured this would be the best place to get this off my chest.

My brother-in-law traded in their Mini! Jerk!!! We were going to run our Mini's on the Dragon this Spring! We rented a cabin!

This was their second Mini but now they have the need for a BMW Mini Van...I mean SUV! They already have a Land Rover!

I think and I told him this.....he was scared of some of the modifications we have made to ours! Chicken! I was going to walk all over him!

Or their Mini was just a novelty too them and once we got one they did not need theirs anymore. What is the point....everyone has one now!

Thanks for the shoulder to cry on.

YOUR A JERK MR. BROTHER-IN-LAW!!!

Don't worry about it. Maybe they just weren't real Mini People. I've had mine for almost 5 years now and I wouldn't dream of selling it.

I've known many families that broke apart for much worse reasons than this one.

No way this is the last straw...not that we had a first straw yet.

I would have to go with a divorce there is no way to repair relations after that Sometimes you have to make choices and cut deep to make things right


Just kidding... I think it was the mods that scared him into selling.

Well, at least we got rid of one more non-MINIack So, that means you have an extra spot for someone else that WANTS to go to the Dragon.

Unfortunately (and I guess fortunately, too), some of us have found otherwise.

In that case, feel free to destroy all your other in-laws while you're at it.

Hey Mr. Pep'r, sorry to hear there is one less MINI in your family.

(We gained one in our family----my sister bought a MINI! She got a PW/B---automatic though . I drived it once and I did not like it. )

He'll be sorry, Mr. P! When you go to the Dragon and have a great time, he will regret selling his MINI. He may come back to MINI-ing.....
