NEW MINI

Picked up new 2007 MCS in Kansas City on Saturday. Put 1,000 miles on it driving the 300 miles home. I guess we took the long way. I think that might be a trend.

I will hopefully post pics of Stanley Tucci this weekend.

I would like to see pics of Bmbleb07's clown wig. That sounds interesting.

We have some great roads for miniing in Arkansas. Got to know some last weekend that I have driven many times in non-mini vehicles. I have a whole new appreciation for them now.

Rattmobbins, we are trying to put together a trip to Santa Fe this spring to experience some of the roads around there.

Hey Loco,

Who was your salesperson in KC. Mine was Liz. Pretty good experience all in all.

Stephanie sold us our Mini. It is a great dealership. I spoke with two dealers in the Dallas area and one in Oklahoma City. KC is farther than the other dealers, but we decided on KC. Stephanie was great.

Awesome! There are some truly AMAZING roads in New Mexico. More than I even knew existed before I got my MINI!
