Wonderful wife works VERY hard

We are a Two MINI Family.
The idea was to get a PW MCS that we would "SHARE".
That lasted less than a week.
My wonderful wife works VERY hard and has driven a F350 4x4 dulie for a some time. So I thought she should drive the MINI, most of the time.
Then she surprised me with a DS MCS at Christmas time.
Did I mention she is the BEST!!!
Thanks to all who have been sharing.
More picture coming...

Wow. That sucks. You should divorce her. I can't believe she did that to you. Kick her to the curb.

P.S. LMK when the divorce proceedings are final and maybe send me her contact info?

P.P.S. Anyone know if California allows polygamy? We are also a two Mini family, but there is always room for more.

We did a couple versions online for the first one.
I lost the coin flip.
We ordered the PW MCS.
She kept the online order option that we did for DS MCS one.
Then a while later told me we had to go to the dealer to fix a "noise".
Got there. MERRY CHRISTMAS HONEY!!!
Me saying "HOLLY MERRY MINI CHRISTMAS" was
the under statement a life time.

Sure she would be glad to.
The next thing to do is give her your keys for a few days.
If that doesn't work you might have to trade her -your wife that is- in.

We also bought my wife's MINI first. After I had driven it a few times, I knew that I had to have one of my own. Six months later, we were placing an order for my baby. We've been a two MINI family for 11 months now. Best of luck with the MINIs - enjoy!

You bet.
When ist's towing the horse trailer.
Come to think of it, a MINI would fit in there too.

By saying your wife works really hard.....does this mean she bought you a car cash? Or gave you the gift of making the payments for 5 years?

I do envy those two MINI families

Congratulations! We're also a two-MINI household in SoCal. We also went through the pains of trying to share one MINI...hiding keys was fun while it lasted. Now she has hers and I have mine, and all is peaceful in our little garage. It also helped that both her parents have their own MINIs as well. We're working on a getting her sister one ~ great Xmas pic opportunity.

In our club, there are other members who have two-MINIs..and then there is one three-MINI household!

Have fun motoring and we hope to wave at you guys on the 405 or 5!
