it was sad to say goodbye to my old friend muffy. we have had all 4 wheels off the ground at once, been on mountain tops, curvy roads, flat plains roads, and through water pot holes. but finally i needed air conditioning for summer--the heat is just to much for me. in colorado i could get by. and i was starting to trip on the lip when i got out. sigh..... so something different.
i was thinking about a yaris or honda... then thinking i will just keep the jeep and get a new top, radio/cd player, get the dent fixed. etc. and buy a golf cart to use around town for groceries and errands.
but then my nephew called and said he had found a mini for me. i had mentioned that what i really wanted was a mini, but didn't have the money for it. but he found a used one...2005 S.
it was more than i wanted to pay, but .............it had air, leather seats, heated seats, cd/radio, sun roof, fog lights, cruise control, .......... it was love at first sight.
my sister and i went shopping with the mini and were able to get our groceries and 4 big flower planters in the back with no problem. for most of our little shopping trips it will be fine. when it is snowy and slippery we will take the blazer. when we go cross country we will take the mini.
now i have bert in the garage. i took bert out today thinking i would drive to gi with it but decided to take the school car since my new insurance isn't quite the right kind for providing taxi service for kids needing to go to town. so what happens!. it hails. but i think it is okay.

great car! I Just have to ask... how did you come up with the name of 'burt' anyway? and be honest.. did you name it before you saw it or after?
before
burt the name is sort of short and stubby... and so is the mini
i'm impressed with how much you can fit in there! you'll love it and i'm glad you finally got yourself a car with air conditioning! i like bert... a good descriptor.
