Sort of "bucket list"

[cogtooth]

Here's what I'd like to do when mine arrives:

Drive home with a side trip to Sugarloaf Mt. which has hairpin downhill turns where riding a bike can corner faster than a car.

Parking on the street outside of a coffee shop, and watching reactions.

Drive slowly through a MINI dealership lot.

Head to West Virginia.

Sounds great.  In a coincidence, I'm driving through West Virginia on the way to the Fiat Freak out and I plan on stopping by a MINI dealership to pick up some brochures!

I was just thinking the MINI visit might not go over to well at the dealership! LOL

Speaking of reactions, I am surprised that there are not that many. I mean, yes, maybe 3 or 4 looks over the course of an hour. Maybe that is a lot. I get at least that many from my 81 Fiat. But that's not a bad thing.

So you are located in Central Florida?  We take our MINIs up Sugarloaf Mountain occasionally.

I will definitely cruise and park on Park Avenue in Winter Park to see the reaction.

I'll still have a MINI and will probably visit the MINI dealership in my FIAT, just because I'll be going there for something MINI-related, not really to show it off.

Sugarloaf in Maryland.  312 feet is the highest point in Florida?

Something like that.  Sugarloaf Mountain in Central Florida is the fifth highest, maybe.

The highest point in Louisiana is only 535 feet up, and it's a few hours from me... so I wouldn't be surprised! :P

Chris, you'll be at FFO! Look forward to meeting you. Anything new with your car? This is Armory Fiat in Albany? My buddy just went there for a test drive. He wants one now!

Okay, whose bucket list included Chantry Flats in the Angeles Forest this morning?

My first sighting in the wild. Fantastic!

And it looks like a Prima no less! I've yet to see one tooling around Seattle as yet, soon as a bunch of the primas got sold at Fiat of Kirkland recently.

Well... I found my first open FIAT Studio this morning, after getting my first check engine light, and now my car is getting its first service!  Check, check, check! :P
