MINIBee’s twin sold today at Ferman MINI

I was at Ferman MINI today to have my rear brakes replaced. MINIBee’s twin was there and it made me smile. It was a totally stock Cooper cabrio and as I checked it out it reminded me of what MINIBee used to be. (Hey, that’s a cool name. UsedToBee!) A nice couple from Maryland was taking it home and they told me they bought it on eBay then came down to pick it up! The woman was very excited and was asking lots of questions about bonnett stripes and other accessories. Ah, the memories.

The Ferman lot, which is usually loaded with MINIs, only had 1-2 new MINIs and a few previously-loved ones. So I guess that recent story about a national, new MINI shortage is true. A LY S cabrio also was there for service. It’s the first time I’ve seen three LY cabrios in one place. It was practically a hive!  : )
