My wife fancied a change!

Thankfully she didn’t mean me!
Her first car when she was a 17 year old, a little Mini, I think it was 1000cc, it started with a button on the floor, and when it rained it just stopped working until it dried out, she loved that car, and the spooky thing was although we hadn’t met at that time 10 years later we had a son, his initials are LJ!

Fast forward 41 years she said she was bored with her ‘sensible’ car and wanted a Mini again, not just any Mini, a Mini Cooper S 1.6 litre ‘hot hatch’ with a souped up John Cooper Works addition, it’s somewhere around the 200BHP!

I would love a fast car but I am stuck with my truck, but I had a go, oh my god, it is fast, seriously fast, around 0-6-mph in 6 seconds, and sticks to the ground like shit on a shovel.
It has a little button called ‘sport mode’, I love that button!

Anyone else had a mid life crisis like this?

Nice. Should be fun. I want my wife to let me pick a fast car. mtmuley

I believe it's 228hp...a very nice power to weight ratio. Should handle fine as "frog fur"....; )

Congrats on the new grocery getter!

I think now is the time to mention the possibility of a Wyoming antelope or Idaho Elk hunt. I am sure you could get a roe buck in the back, but a red might be a bit of a challenge. Tell her congratulations on her new purchase and have fun.
