Christmas MINIs

My wife and I are the proud parents of two brand new 2007 Coopers: his PW/B & hers MY/B. It started out with a surprise Christmas present for the missus, since she has wanted one for years. It was so much fun I had to get one... er... for the sake of my marriage :-) I didn't want to run the risk of resentment or arguments about who got to drive the cool car.

Actually, it is a lot of fun to have a shared enthusiasm together.

Hmmm, I need a cool new car "for the sake of the marriage" I'll have to remember that excuse.

Welcome! We are also a 2 MINI family. The really cool thing is I can drive my wife's but she can't drive mine because she can't drive a stick.

Congrats from a fellow his & her MINI household !

It really makes Christmas and birthday shopping easy, as long as you don't fight over who gets the mods

Congrats! I'm jealous. Living in the city, we are a one-car family. Wish I could get a manual MCS for myself. Enjoy!!!

Got my Christmas present early!!!!!!!!!!!!

My DH gave me a 2005 Mini today! Have been humming " This is the self preservation society" ever since.

It is red, not my favorite color so DH said I could get it painted and/or have decals put on. So I am searching for decals of dragons.

Cooper S for X-mas as well!

Quite an X-mas present, eh?

Taking delivery on a new MCS today, 12/23/07.

The wife is very excited.

She did not think we were going to get it before X-mas, as I kept telling her there was NO WAY the dealership was going to deliver BEFORE X-mas, and yet we're picking it up today!
