Just finished our second 1,500 mile road trip of the summer in the MINI. What a blast this car is to drive! This is my second 1st Gen MINI and I still enjoy driving it as much as the first time I drove one in '05. And, yes, I still wave. I should probably find another low mileage '06 MCS and put it away for when this one wears completely out. So I ask you, are you still having as much fun now, as when you first drove yours? ......Les
