Some of you have asked to see pics of my new MINI Cooper. I finally got around to snapping a few after giving McMini it's first bath and wax. I can tell that I'm really going to baby this car. I've put together a little PHOTO ALBUM of my BMW MINI Cooper. I can't remember ever being this excited about a car before. It is incredibly fun to drive (and pretty zippy too). My state car (boring Ford Taurus), feels huge to me now. I'd rather drive the MINI anyway.

I painstakingly cut the car out of one of the photos and made a fun looking desktop wallpaper. Choose your resolution to copy it:

What's next for McMini? Well, this car just screams "customize me!!". And you guys know me when it comes to stuff like that! I cannot resist. The first addition was the bonnet stripes. Those were put on last week. I have some very cool Momo pedals ordered that I cannot wait to install. I was just informed that the personalized license plate "McDeb" is available here in Ohio. I'm still thinking about that one. I've never been a big fan of vanity plates. We'll see. Eventually I'll look into satellite radio and upgrade the stereo. It's already very nice, but I'm picky about my tunes.

The Cincinnati BMW/MINI dealer has invited us to attend a premier party for the movie The Italian Job. The MINI Cooper plays a major roll in movie. It should be fun. Check out this clip, and when given the choice, watch the short called "The Stars and Cars of the Italian Job". Very cool.

Okay. I'm done talking about my car. For now...
