New stable mate coming soon....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47675/mini_2006-04-20.jpg"></center><p>I convinced my wife to get one of these. This isn't the exact one, but very similar....arrives in mid-June. Mini's seem to be made to mod...now I just need to convince her to get the JCW kit or Mini-Mania kit. 200+hp would feel pretty good in a 2700lb. car. Another good thing is the dealer actually offered to mod it...they sell all kinds of stuff for it. We also considered an A3, but this will probably be more fun, and we'll have more room left in the garage. This also means I'll be able to give the TT a break from daily driving, since we're keeping her Ford Escape.

With the seats down there might be....

.....come to think of it, we didn't even open the hatch to look! ...we had too much fun test-driving it to notice the cargo area :-) The back seat leg room didn't look much more than the TT, but there was much more head room.
