Two years of smiles!

Tonights marks the second anniversary of the day I first saw GBMINI delivered to MINI Peabody - it looked very normal back then!

No roof flag, no painted trim, no JCW, no loads of other things. And now, somewhat sadly, soon no GBMINI either.
Well, except for the new GBMINI yet to come.

I think my current GBMINI knows something is up and has been trying to teach me what a mistake I am making! This last week or so I have regularly noticed stunning performance from the car - I will be accelerating briskly along route 128, then push my foot further and get a big new kick of extra power … I don’t know if it is the gas, the cold air, or what but I am really enjoying driving at the moment :)

Anyway, at 28,000 miles GBMINI is still wonderful and deserves a good new owner …

    Ian, Your GBMINI II is a great car. Your problem is that you live too close to the candy store (MOP)and love to spend your change. If I lived closer I would have to be restrained, for now my ignorance of the new cars is bliss. cheers

    Happy Birthday GBMINI(#2)!

    I noticed my 210 feeling pretty spunky lately as well. I thinking weather and maybe gas formulation switchover?

    Last night I went to the MTH software and reset things so I’m cycling through the adaptive settings once more.

    Agree about the candy store … and what you might not know is right down the street from MOP is the Union Jack British food store - with lots of *real* candy that I grew up with. So I get hit $$$ twice when I go over there ;)
