MINI in a small town

Small pond, big fish! I love this car! Everywhere we go in this dinky town of ours, the MINI is an instant hit. And with ALL ages! 8 to 80, they seem to come out of the woodwork to say cool car!!

It's a def crowd pleaser, this MINI is!

Isn't that great!!! MINIs do seem to bring about a unique reaction from people, largely due to the cuteness factor it seems. It is more difficult, I feel, to explain how darn good the car is as many folks apparently have no frame of reference for the kind quality driving experience MINIs offer. That's okay...if folks just have fun gawking at MINIs that's cool!!!

People complimented the Mini and asked my wife how she liked it regularly for the past three years. It's just that kind of car.

Even in not a so small pond my MINI gets pointed at alot. I get asked about it in parking lots and folks are always smiling. Enjoy your little big fish!

signing in for sparkling silver crew. When I ordered my MINI, I was dead set on pepper white. Then I got there and saw it in person and hated it. I saw a SS a few cars down and I knew that was the color I HAD to have.

In my tiny town(s), everyone who comments on my new MCS is enthusiastic.

Those who comment with their eyes seem to be saying, "That ain't a Ford, and it ain't a Chevy, and it ain't a Dodge." One, strolling past with his young son who asked, "What kind of car is that?" replied, "It's an ENGLISH car."

You betcha!
And German and French and FUN
