2nd time shame on us?

We did not post a thread of our first MINI (Wally), So we thought it best to not miss out this time around. Here is Wally's new brother (unnamed as of yet).

2008 Laser Blue MCSc
Cold weather, Sport, Premium, Cloth/leather 2 tone seats, and a few other goodies besides.

Sorry no top down photos yet, even though were in California, these were taken on a brisk below freezing day.

Don and Lori

I would not go as far as wimpy Scoopmama...maybe just weather spoiled. We have such great weather 90% of the time, we just don't feel we need to be uncomfortable, there is always tomorrow

And thank you all for your nice responses they're much appreciated!

Lori and Don

Our loaners are always 3 series BMW's, I guess we could drive to Utah and roll the windows down. The thoughts that we have when we're in a loaner is when do we get our MINI back!!

Don't mind sharing at all... just north of Ridgecrest on HWY 395. The turn out is Fossil Falls just a wee bit north of Littlelake. Its a great area for driving and some great spots for photos. If you ever head up that way send us a note we would love to tag along.
