hehe got my new MINI..today.. MCSc

Hey all: Thanks for all the good input I got from you people,I got me one too. The MCSc is fast... I have to watch myself all the time to not over do it. From 40-70+ is too easy to do...just like a bullet... With the top down in the evening ,that feeling is all worth it.. I used to ride around in a moped and this is like a 4 wheeled moped on steriods.. So see you out on the road ,I'll be sure to wave kalm

What a car, huh! Post some pics when you can keep yourself out of it for long enough. First (well, since my first one) car I ever enjoyed washing.

I really enjoy the top being down the most in the evening and at night. Nothing like motoring under the stars with the radio on....

Absolutely nothing beats the wide open spaces...well...except those narrow tight lines along a place known as The Tail of the Dragon But, if you're in a Cabrio it's even better

very nice... I feel the same way about my Cabrio... but the range is more like 60-90 is easy to do... the gas pedal sneaks down towards the floor real easy.

Hi : I get all the crazy replys about,"with that kind of $$ , You could hve bought yourself a BMW, or a Lexes or even Mer/Benz... I look right at all those advisors and tell them" That's not what I want" Then I ask,how much did you pay for your mini-van..? Toyota mini van tax and all $42,000... I rest my case... $30k for a base model Lexes,Murano,Mazda SUV$36k for well equipt, ... My MCSc with leather heated seats,auto,sports package,premium package, $34,500 OUT THE DOOR
