I just traded my MINI (Cooper) in on a...
MINI (Clubman)
I can't imagine every driving anything else. Once you go MINI, you never go back.

I tried to detail it myself this weekend. Took me about 10 hr (I kid you not) and I did a terrible job! Guess it's worth the $150 they charge to get it done right.
Hydro is the best car product ever, for those between detailing times.
I'm in a random mood today, obviously.

Although I'm not going to sell my MINI, I think I'm going to get one of these (with an electric assist) to be as car free as possible next year

if I could only get over the price and the sex toy looks of the thing.

My Mini - he out handles anything out there, including my step son's Boxter. Now, my step son can beat me on the straightaways, but I kill him on the curves.

This is Bethy. She's a 1971 Super Beetle. I have had her since 1976. Originally she belonged to my Uncle when he lived in Germany. I drove her through high school and college. When Robert and I got married, we left our wedding in Bethy with "Just Married" on the windows! Robert hates working on her, but he does it because it makes me happy.



This is my every-day car. It's a 2001 New Beetle. The trunk is full of bike stuff. And there is at least one bike on top about 75% of the time the car is on the road! The license plate says I (heart) MY VWS.



And this is Robert's hot rod truck. It's a 1965 GMC with a 427 small block. It consumes lots of fossil fuel! It's a perfect "date night" truck. Robert has done EVERYTHING on this truck and it has been on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine. He's very proud of it!

I so agree! I've never been particularly car crazy, but I just love my Mini. And, Ive never named anything else before, but when I laid eyes on him, he was definitely a Maxx.

Christine, oooh! How lovely!
