    ScottyC here, Scott in person, my bride, Pam in person, and I purchased a chili red justa convertable from MINI of Plano on 24 March of this year.

    I went into Sewell's MINI of Plano showroom wanting a BRG justa coupe with a white top and bonnet stripes but that all went out the door when Pam spotted the pretty little red convertable on the showroom floor. Our MA, Kelly, spotted Pam paying attention to the little red car, came over to chat with us, "let" us take the convertable on a test drive then listened patiently while I showed her the MINI I had configured on-line all the while sharing some covert telepathetic conversation with Pam about the red convertable.

    The long and short of it was that Pam got what she wanted in my MINI.

    In the two-ana-half months we've owned Milly we have put nearly 6k miles on her. Makes my work day commute from Campbell, TX to Richardson, TX and return (3 hours total each day!) easier to take.

    Our first outing was to Vaughan's by Lake Bob Sandlin for a catfish lunch on the 25th of March. Milly got a lot of attention and we (read "I") got a lot of sunburn-the top was down the entire trip, it reminded me that I don't have as much hair as I think I do!

    I'm spending less on gas, I'm bringing home less stress and the morning drive to work is actually fun now. Think I'll keep her...the car, not Pam...though I'll keep Pam, too.
