Introduction

only car I really miss is our little MINI...

1
 

1994 Ford Probe

 
Red, looked nice, the automatic transmission sucked (and it broke at the end), should've bought a manual...

2001 BMW 330Ci (E46)

Steel Blue, Steptronic, which sucked too, that was why I sold it for the next one. (well I hit a deer the day I got it too, after like 4 months of waiting time for it to show up coz it was a custom order and I wanted an E46 coupe, which was rare back then)

2003 BMW 330Ci (E46)

Got sick of not having a clutch pedal, so traded in the steel blue one for this, LOVED the color combo, I put some SSR "Competition" 18" rims on it, lightweight, looked badass... Tracked it many times at Texas World Speedway with their Motorsports Club... At the end got sick of an open differential, so I traded it in for the Evo MR, now I have THREE *real* differentials!!

2004 MINI Cooper S

Well this was Sherry's car, but it was our baby! One of the first Pepper White MCS in North America, we custom ordered it, did the whole tracking thing. Pepper White with white (body color) roof, black side mirrors, black bonet stripes!! Check the link to the Flickr set, it was insane. MINI2.com was my support group during the wait.

I would get another one now but I don't really like the new smaller taillights, so I ordered a Smart Fortwo Cabriolet, in bumble bee colorway, it should be fun and practical for San Francisco.

We never felt so in love with a car, we miss her! Sherry felt like it was best to sell her to a good home when she moved from Austin to San Francisco. Our hearts still ache when whenever we see a white MINI! :~(

Isn't it funny how much a car becomes a part of you! I love the photos, especially of the Mini. Thanks for sharing!
