The other day Salima I wanted to have some fun so we went to ZipCar.com and booked the closest Mini Cooper for 5 hours. Little Mossien was available (they name their cars at ZipCar.com) and we really drove the living heck out of it. It has a Sports Mode which makes it really fun to drive, even though this was not the S version.

Sincerely, I can’t wait till I can afford one as a second car. I love my Honda so I am not really interested in “upgrading” (lol), but having it as a second car would be really great! Maybe I can get it when the concept from Paris’ motor show gets realized:

Note: ZipCar.com is a revolutionary rent-a-car system. You pay a yearly membership fee of $50 USD, and you get to reserve a car in many major US cities (and London in UK), for a period of couple of hours (or even for a full day or two if you want). The idea is - you pay no insurance, no gas, and about an average of $10/hour. They have all kinds of cars, form BMW’s, Toyota’s, Hybrids, Trucks, to, my favorite, Mini.

Want a Mini? Head over to Mini.com and see why you should have one.
