All these Americans driving around in an English car, when it's me (I'm English living in America for those of you who don't know me yet) who should be driving one. Any way, I wanted a British Racing Green one with a Union Jack on the top but I ended up not ordering one new (and waiting four months for it to arrive) and bought a Red 2006 from a dealer in Reno (nearest Mini dealer is in Sacramento California, or Salt Lake City, Utah). I can order some Union Jack additions which I will do now I'm home, but can't get one on the top as I have a sun roof. Pretty exciting yeah! |

If not, it will have to be AWIE, which means Little Bird in Quenyan. |
