Talking Still makes you smile?

I have had my Mini a little about 2 1/2 months. I still smile automatically when I come back out to it in a parking lot, and when I am gone for a few days, the first thing I want to do is jump behind the wheel for a little spin. I am just as excited about it as the day I got it, except I refrain from actually squealing with delight as I drive. But I sure do grin a lot.
Everybody else still smiling?

Still smiling after 8 months... ...in fact I haven't driven my MCS since February 12th due to the lousy weather here...but today is the day and I feel like a kid on Christmas!

evening update: Drove the MINI, got home and told my wife..."I love my car..."

O yes.
I have mine for 3 weeks now. In that time I have been away from it for only one day and already I missed it

Still smiling, despite minor teething problems, wouldn't change it for the world. Even in the years to come when I finally move away from the MINI I could lay a bet that it will be the finest car I have ever owned from a driver's point of view.

Still smiling, driving it harder than ever, sad to see it so salty and sandy most days but love to see it clean again. Into my 11th month of MINI driving, still getting thumbs up and all kinds of great reactions. Rallying it again tomorrow!

Had my MC 11 months now, it still makes me smile. Today, for the first time ever, I came across another cooper (Indie Blue/White) going in the same direction. We travelled in convoy for several kilometres, sometimes side by side grinning inanely at each other.

Com' on, is that all ya' got? Lets GO!!!!", or sometimes she gets more aggressive and says, "Com' on, I see a corner, pick it up! Lets go! Lets MOTOR!!!!"


Motor on, Dudes and Dudettes!!!
