Mine is for sale. Long story, basically, don't get to ride, ever . Still grin like an idiot every time I sit on it in the garage though.... I love the bike! Don't want to sell it. They are building them in some Asian country now; mine is a British built one.
If I were immortal, I'd have a Speed Triple and a Daytona 675 too... And I wouldn't have any thoughts of selling my Bonnie.
here's my other vehicle i love it to death but, now it rarely gets driven. poor thing. L.A. gas prices, traffic and parking just isn't very forgiving to the beast. in fact, it is hell. works fine back home in san antonio...
i've been considering letting it go to a new home. but, i'm torn between that or keeping it and dropping a new engine in it.
We have an E320 4-matic and an A6 Avant for winter, C5 Vette and '78 bug convertibles for summer, '50 Chev Tin Woody for retro and a F250 for work stuff...the Mini is the most fun but the Vette will make you smile days after the last ride.
i got my 07 MCS and i got the wife a 07 MAZDASPEED 6. i want to hook that up but she is pretty set on it being left stock. its fast 274 hp, awd, and 6 speed--ultimate family fun car.
2007 Honda CRV - Wife's car...
2001 Jeep Wrangler - Mine - Going up for sale now that I got the MCS
1994 Dodge Ram - For taking to boat back and forth to the ramp
2006 Harley Sportster - Upgraded to 1250cc - I had forgot how much I love to ride
the MINI lasted one month as a baby-hauler. Just wasn't cutting it, so I picked up another modern classic (if only I would have bought the GP...hindsight being 20/20 now that I don't need the backseat).
My two lifesize Koko Gorillas and Joe Gorilla (in front) never leave the car. No one else has ever driven with me except the apes. I need to find another pair of Doggles for one of the apes in back. I have some for my dogs, but really don't want the apes to have a good pair, they play with them too much.
Although I own a stuffed animal shop, I just wanted the girls to go along for my rides. They are belted in and love to cruise. I love watching reactions when people realize it isn't two people in back.
I'm afraid the MINI is too small for such fun, but I already have a couple of little furry guys who will be MINI mascots. Since no food, drink, perfumes, smoking, etc. are allowed in my cars the stuffed variety sometimes make the best passengers.
Usually I drive the Titan or Suburban for errands. Don't want anyone hurting my cars. They seem to ignore the big cars.
