Love at First Sight

I was at the Mini Dealership on my cell phone with the bank applying for a Mini Loan. I was walking around looking at all the Mini's when the loan officer asked me if I had a VIN for the vehice I was applying for. I told her I didn't know yet, but it was definitely going to be a Mini. And then I saw her. She was sitting there to the side out of the lime light and she spoke to me. I froze in my footsteps and said, "There she is". Patty (My new Mini) was staring right at me with her perky head lights. Her Bonnet Stripes accented her Pepper White skin shining in the faint and bad lighting they had in the dealership. She winked at me and I was all done for.

I got the loan on the phone and took Patty Motoring that day.

CONGRATS!!!

Welcome to the World of Mini Ownership.

Welcome to NAM. You've come to the best forum out there to share your Mini experiences.

I'm trying to get there. I didn't get any little winks from any of the cars at my dealership. I guess none of them wanted to go home with me. All the Chili red ones, many, all had the same exact options and not the ones I really wanted. I'm in waiting.

We in waiting need pics. Eye candy will help us through another week.
