I realized I've been wanting to drive a MINI Cooper since 2001 when I was still living in Indiana and the new version of the cars had just come out. I'd signed up on their website then and as I was checking back there recently I discovered my old address and phone number, evidence of my long held desire for this incredible car.
Last week end my MINI quest was fulfilled at International MINI of Milwaukee. After a brief test drive around West Allis, Wisconsin, I had the feel of the clutch and a sense for the tight steering and incredible power of the car. Desire was fed by a really great lease deal and within an hour Jourdan and I were driving back to Wausau. Well, actually we made a slight detour over to Roots, a great restaurant in MKE and then headed north.
On Sunday I took the MINI up to the top of Rib Mountain for its first pictures. There will be more to come I'm sure. It is a great car, powerful, fun to drive, and on and on. What can I say? I really love it.

SO now I know who you are...I had a dream a few years ago of owning a MINI Cooper. My dream came true last year and I felt a special honor living in my small little town with an unusual car, until now...mind you, I say it with a smile on my face but I keep getting reports from friends about how they saw me driving somewhere on a day that I was sick with the flu and firmly in bed-not driving. I have a pepper white S that I protect as though it were a newborn child. There are just a few in town-all different colors-until the two White twins appeared. There's even a teen that drives one to school--I like the fact that I worked my tail off to afford one instead of having it given to me by my parents.
Welcome to the area and don't be a stranger--honk if you see me. Someday, we need to start a Wausau MINI club... Invite me if you form the club...
