Just back from holiday. Missed my MINI but the holiday (Vacation to our US pals) was great.

Saw two MINIs. One Indi Blue/white Cooper by the Honolulu zoo and a red S on the Kona coast highway - hello if you are out there.

Had a really horrible hire car, a Chrysler Concorde. It must have been about 20 feet long and the ride was so soft I think the suspension was made of jello. Definately top of my list now as the worst car I've ever driven. How car people buy these cars?

Ken,

I've got two with a Cooper S on the way. The S will replace my 5 spd.

The day I figure out why people like that soft cushy ride will be the day I also have women figured out! In other words... no time soon.

I've only seen five others in my entire area. All of which were different colors. Indy blue, black, red, gray, and yellow. Only of them was an -S. Surprisingly I'm the second one in my little town to get one. Anyway, it still gets all the looks and questions.
