Free Classic Mini...

So UhOh- you finally saw the pics, right? Would you agree that that one pic (#141?) looked like a Holy Moment?
I'm still thinking about what you said about your brother looking like DJ. I think I was a bit too old to think DJ was cute... plus... he was a REALLY annoying little brother. I wonder what "DJ" looks like now.
**Google is an amazing thing. Your brother looks better.

Hmm.. Maybe we're a little related. This pic was taken at my wedding rehearsal dinner (c. 2005) - That's dad in between us.

UhOh needs to put her special cake one here.
So MinixB- I think it was yesterday that I asked about your Classic. I won't make you go back and read through it... . How did you find your Classic? Did you need to do much work on it? Did you do all of your own work? Have you been overwhelmed by all of the maintenance and responsibility of ownership? I've wondered about you and your car.

Whaa? What special cake one? What special cake for that matter? Did I fall asleep and miss something again!?!?
Yeah...what she said!

UhOh- I was going to ask if he was in the military too... ... I know... dumb question. Anyway... the "do" he has pretty much answers the question.

Yup. We were tag-teaming deployments and he barely made it back for the wedding. I made him get all duded-up in his dress blues for the wedding - he was the last sabre in the sabre arch (which he loved since the last guy is supposed to whack the bride on her...butt...) He is a clown. Ask TNMM.

So did I scare MinixB away?

Although I wasn't really expecting the Mini to need parts about every time I drove her I kinda had a feeling it's going to need new parts sooner or later..(she is 32 years old...) Before I bought my Mini though I did ALOT of research about them, how they work, what a good Mini should look like and things like that. I took my time looking for a Mini when I was finally ready to buy one too. It took me about 6 months before I finally decided on BB. One great thing about classic Mini's is that most of their parts don't cost to much and they're pretty easy to work on once you figure out little tricks (like take the grill off when you want to work on the radiator or do your oil change).
If you are looking for a classic right now just take your time and do your research. It will pay off in the long run. If I didn't know anything about Mini's before I bought mine I'd be totally lost. LOL
Sorry about the long post....

I know some states frown upon the use of red or blue lights other than your red tail lights.

Nope! I'm just busy getting ready to have the gals over. Your post was actually incredibly informative! It sounds like you did a lot of things with your Mini the way I did when I bought my MINI. I knew that these cars didn't have a good reputation for reliability so I made sure we had enough income to cover any potential surprises, then I checked to make sure there were local guys that could service my car that really knew what they were doing, and then I spent hours in the configurator online... and then I came here and talked to a lot of people... and eventually I walked onto the lot thinking I was going to order, and there she was. I was ready and she was waiting.
It's really like making any other major purchase, but I do think that knowing more about the ins and outs of owning a classic car is vital to the ownership of one. I'm not sure I'm prepared for that just yet, but maybe in a few years when I have the time and energy to commit... I'll go get a Mini too.

Miniola - Will you be trying to catch the shuttle launch this coming Monday?

Don't forget about that route I told you to take to avoid most of the traffic.

Okay Freebies,,, we have been trying to gently break it to you all but frankly you guys aren't reading closely enough and paying attention!!
The reason I was so silent over the past couple weeks is that at the last minute I decided to chuck it all and join in on the MOTD fun!!
I tried to stay out of most of their pictures but I had to pose for a few to prove to my husband that yes, I did really attend!

Guess what guys? My brother left me a voice mail message yesterday:
"Guess who. I never realized how many MINIs were out there until last weekend [after he got back from his first MOTD]. I talked to [the fiancee] and we're going to hit the local MINI club's pub meet this weekend, and she's excited about it, too! Looks like we're definitely going to get a MINI as soon as the budget gives us room!!!!!"
My evil plan is working! According to mom and girlfriend, he hasn't shut up about MINIs at ALL since MOTD. heh heh heh..... WE WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!
