I drove my MINI off the dealer lot two years ago today. Looking back, it’s amazing how much fun it’s been. More amazing is, unlike most cars, it is still just as fun to drive as the day I bought it. There have been so many good times, and I’ve met so many great MINI friends. I’m almost at 32,000 miles (and still waiting on my 2nd oil change!) and still no major issues.
No celebration for today, however tomorrow I embark on my third MINIsOnTop, the biggest MINI event of the year around here. I still remember very nervously waiting to see if my MINI would arrive in time for MOT in 2004, and it arrived just in time. The MINI will of course be getting a bath tomorrow morning before I leave, so it can have a bright birthday smile.
Aside from a “Happy Anniversary” email from MINI of Peabody, the third issue of MC2 was waiting for me in the mailbox today. Perfect reading for any down time this weekend.
Here’s to many more years of motoring fun!
Ten years ago today, I landed in USA after flying out of Gatwick on a one-way ticket! Our home contents arrived by boat about 7 weeks later!
Still no MC2#3 here 🙁

Have a great time and I hope I win the JCW’s package! MC2 Hum should be here soon also. Nice site. :¬)
