Mini Me - 2008 Mini Cooper

Linh's blue and white Mini Cooper fits her perfectly; small and tons of fun. We ordered this car new from Baron and got to go through the whole Mini delivery experience. They make it so you feel like you are having a child. They give you updates like "Your Mini just rolled off the line in Oxford," "Your Mini just arrived at Customs in Baltimore and we changed its diaper."

Our previous two cars had been Nissans and the customer service difference between them and Mini is just not even comparable. We've had a few minor problems with the Mini since it arrived, but for the most part it has been a wonderful experience being in the Mini family. 

You often get that wink and nod from other Mini drivers and once when driving over the Pig Trail in northern Arkansas we got the full flashing lights, horn honk, hand out the window and yell from a fellow Mini driver. Put a big grin on our faces.
Our dog Apollo gives his sniff of approval
See, the Mini is huge, the guy on the left is 6' 2"
I love taking the Mini out and making it remember its Rally Heritage
