Mini!

[dianec42]

So the plan was, we were going to go to a baseball game on Saturday and go Mini shopping on Sunday. Saturday around lunchtime, we decided we were bored, so we headed over to the Mini dealer. Our intention was to check out the '11s, decide nothing on the lot was suitable, and order one. Well, it turned out they had a Cooper S hard-top in a new colour "white silver" that had a sunroof and a 6-speed... one thing kind of led to another, and the next thing we knew it was 5:00 and we were home with a new Mini! (And about an hour to get to Anaheim through traffic. Good thing it wasn't a Dodgers game, we'd have never made it.)

So... yeah. I have a new toy. It turns out my manual driving skills haven't completely gone, which is nice. It will definitely take some getting used to. (Le gasp, I now have a vehicle where I put my foot down and something will actually happen!) It's exceedingly easy to park and BOY is it fun to drive.

Have you researched what it would take to paint it purple?
