Well today we went to the BMW dealer and ordered a Mini.

Red with white roof, black leather interior, huge power

sunroof, it comes FULLY equipped. Its actually really nice.



The salesman was super cool, he asked if we wanted the S version

with the supercharger, then told us unless you really drive the car hard

around town the regualr one is the way to go. He was so low pressure

it was a pleasure dealing with them. It will take about 8 weeks to get, they

give you a number so you track it getting built online so that will be fun.



We wanted something "different", and in that price range there

really isnt anything out there, besides if we dont like it in a few years we

will just get rid of it, lol.

I saw one last time I was in Jersey, right near the Mini headquarters in Montvale, it was awesome. It had a bodykit and mesh style wheels. Best of all it had manufacturer license plates. Maybe thats a hint of what is coming out soon

I test drove a supercharged new mini, it was pretty damn fast. There are a bunch of new mini's in town driving around, and several for sale.

I saw one of those at SCCA, and all I could hear the whole time was the supercharger screaming at all the other cars. It actually did very decent for a novice driver, also. Good buy!
