Yes, oh good people of the Internet, our Forrester is gone and in its place is a Mini Cooper Clubman, the slightly larger version of the Mini Cooper, the one with the third (suicide?) door. We were sad to see the Forrester go. I was, at least. It was comfortable, never gave us any problems, and we had a lot of adventures in it. We moved Chris and Chris to Maine in it, we moved ourselves to Dedham in it, we got a couple of Christmas trees in it, got married in it (sort-of), drove it to Burlington, VT, Maine, CT, Rhode Island, maybe other places, I don't really remember. But the point is that we had a good time with the Forrester. I have no complaints. And now she can make someone else just as happy as she made us for two years. Because now we are a two-Mini family. 
Mini Gray is mine (reminds me of my little CRX from years past), and Mini Blue is Doug's (better for carting his gear around), but really we aren't discriminate. We just get in one and go.Will there be eyebrows raised at our decision to add another Mini to our family? Possibly, but let them be raised. Our feeling is that we had the opportunity to take advantage of a down economy. Mini wants our business, and we want to give Mini our business. Gas mileage is great, the experience is great, the reliability is great, the safety factor is great... and oh yeah, the keys are pretty cool, too.
What can we say? We highly endorse the sipping experience, be it gray or blue.
