It seems hard to believe but one year ago today I was just a matter of days away from test driving the new MINI for the first time. It was a test drive that I had been waiting over two years to take. I'll never forget the feeling after taking the first turn in that Silver/Black MC and then the Dark Silver/White MCS – it was that rare occurance of something actually exceeding your expectations… immediately.
<p>Happy St. Patty's Day to you too, Gabe! My first girlfriend was in Oak Lawn and my first MINI in Naperville…you never forget your first.</p>
<p>You captured the feeling of my first MINI test drive. After years of slightly bigger cars and no sports car experience (except watching), I thought the handling and acceleration were awesome … immediately!
Happy St Paddy's Day from an Irish descendant who's wearin' the Green all weekend!</p>
<p>PS: Can you make a Silk Green MINI graphic? I've tried w/o success.</p>
<p>Bill Jacobs has a silk green MINI with shamrock stickers all over it in their showroom. It's their last silk green ever. (Gold MINI's are in production in Oxford now and should be in the showrooms next month).</p>
