I'm starting to lose my backbone and cave in. It's hard when you're ALWAYS around mini's on the road, and know you can't look cute like them in one!
She was my MA too! Turcicus was saying the other might that they (Crown) want to get more involved with the local club, i.e. coordinating on events etc. Which'd be pretty sweet!

If you need a fix, I drive through Bumpass everyday going to work...you can take Hobbes out for a spin!

I can understand how a test drive can make all the difference. I went to my favorite MINI dealer for a test drive, and love the R56 Cooper S. He had four or so outfitted almost exactly the way I wanted, so I bought one. The hitch was how much they were willing to give me for the old MINI and if I was going to like the look and feel of the new one. I love it, still learning of course!

It may be all in my head, but the MINI's are multiplying around here! Everyday I see one more mini than the day before... only yesterday, for the first time ever, I saw TWO PW/B within 10 minutes of each other... and it wasn't the same one! I've only seen one PW/B before on the road, ever, and it was years ago, and across town. Sign, maybe?

I don't live in Bumpass anymore. I didn't know I hadn't changed it yet! I moved back to Richmond a year ago... but I'll be in Bumpass for the annual boat-cleaning to earn my pass to ride all year on my dad's boat I called him and told him about my wonderful test drive. He said the same thing my mom did. "When are you buying one?" :(
