    Luckily, the Ms. hughes has a Envoy! :cornut: aka baby shuttle.

    I just hope to goodness I can stop crying with G forces and high velocity off-ramping'. As long as my lilttle mini-me loves my MINI-car I will be a happy father! LOL :lol:

    You'll have no worries there...

    both my kids have been saying "Drive Faster Daddy!" basically since they were verbal. They like the forces they feel. And the both prefer to ride on my 02 MCS instead of the wife's clubman or the family hauler, and MDX. Go figure! They have a lot less leg room, but then again, they get to kick the front seats easier as well!

    You know, they could be asking you to drive faster for some other reasons. :devil: Grandpa.

    congratulations!

    We sold our 06 MCS because of concerns about the ease of getting a baby seat in and out, but in the end, it wasn't necessary. MINIs are baby friendly, though I see that Envoy will do most of the shuttling. But if you put a seat in the MINI too, the Graco Snugride worked well for us. We're now awaiting receipt of a Clubman, but the coupe would have been fine.

    Congrats! Will the name be Coop, Cooper, or Clubby? I think Countryman would be a bit out in left field :lol:

    Congratulations! And, don't let anyone talk you out of your MINI. I did, and regretted every minute of it until I got another. Now, we are a two MINI family with two kids, ages 6 and 2. You can definitely make it work!

    Yeah, were I able to go back and NOT sell my first MINI, I'd do so. I honestly loved the first gen more. I put the aero on it, did some stuff to it, JUST put ENKEIs on there AND an Extended Warranty...just in time to effing sell it.

    But hey, new one beats NO MINI. And yeah now that we were buying fresh, just felt like we should do the Clubman since we COULD. But the Coupe is nicer, I think, all told, from a driving/aesthetic perspective. Win Win though, all the same...
