       Well good to hear it has a good home and I did get to ride in it
before you sold it.

            I know two people that have Minis. They kinda like them.. Small
and they get shoved around on the road cause everyone ignores them. One is a
stick on an auto. The auto gets quite a bit better mileage than the stick
does. It's in the same league as the PT Cruiser in that the auto gets better
mileage and has more power cause with that tiny engine it has to have a
torque converter to get any kind of acceleration. Geri's PT feels like it
has a 90hp engine cause it's the stick version.

             I do kind of like the clubman but my days of sitting on the
ground and crawling out of Tonka big wheels are over. Make that thing about
3x as big and I'd want one.
