MINI-in-waiting
My wife started dropping hints about getting a mini a year ago. She would point out each and every mini we saw.
"Mine's gonna be blue"
"I think mine should look like that"
"Should we get the sunroof on my mini?"
"MC or MCS?"
I will admit I was skeptical. The car is named mini for a reason. We aint big folk, but we do need a little room. This is Texas and there are a lot of big rigs around. I hate having to grip the steering wheel any time an 18 wheeler passes going the other direction.
So she used an old trick to get me to stop and test drive one. There is a paticular resturant near the dealership in a town not far away.
So we get to go for a test drive.
OMG. It was awsome. Physics dont apply to this car! ZIP! ZIP! ZIP! How do you squeeze that much car in 12 feet?
So now it is:
"We should get the MCS"
"These wheels look better to me"
"How many more sleeps til we order our mini?"
"Mine's gonna be blue"
"I think mine should look like that"
"Should we get the sunroof on my mini?"
"MC or MCS?"

Congratulations!! I checked out a 2007 MCS over the weekend and was tempted to take a test drive right there. But as I half joked to a MA, I was afraid to take a test drive and not be able to resist placing an order right there. 
Gotta resist until later this year (autumn).... Good thing the closest MINI dealership is some distance away....
Enjoy!!
