TR6 is sold!

Finally sold the TR6 this weekend. Unfortunately it was a day late as the Rover I wanted was sold the same day. Ohh well, I'll just have to start hunting Series III 109 Station Wagons. If anyone out there reading this knows of one for sale drop me a line! Thanks.

I am a GM owner.....

Great, so the US government is going to end up owning around 70% of GM as part of their bankruptcy settlement. Fabulous. Does that mean anyone will be able to get employee pricing on a GM now? I sure hope this goes as well as the British takeover of British Leyland. That turned out great, just ask anyone who owns a new Triumph, MG, Original Mini, Morris, Austin, Rover, Riley, Austin-Healey, and Wolseley. What? There aren't any of these new cars? Why? Because British Leyland pretty much went belly up after the government bailout and all the above marks where split up and sold off. So say good by to even more of our tax dollars as they are flushed away into helping an obsolete company try to stay afloat.

My long nightmare is over...

Yep, the Lexus is now officially sold. Dang that took way longer than I thought but again, it is not exactly the best time to be selling a car.

In other news the TR is still for sale. Hoping to get it sold soon, the babies are just a few days out and I was hoping to have the Landy in the garage by now but it has to wait until the TR leaves.

A good buddy of mine surprised his wife with an '06 MINI Cooper S Convertible this week. She has wanted one forever and he found a pretty cherry Pepper White / Black one for sale. He asked me to test drive it with him and give input. Car was tight. I have done so much work to mine I always forget just how great the MINI is in stock form. Especially the '05s and '06s with the revised gear ratios, feels very quick in first and 2nd gear. Anyway, it is always nice to welcome a new member to the MINI family!
