I was born in Cambridge, Mass, at a young age. Growing up in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, I attended Franklin & Marshall College, Middlebury College School in France, and began teaching French and Spanish in Maryland, followed by a year in New Jersey and 33 years at Saxe Middle School in New Canaan, CT. Retirement called in June of 2006, after which I became full time Motoring Advisor at MINI of Fairfield County, Stamford, CT and quickly was appointed the Internet Manager and head of the entire department.
Most of this blog, I suspect, will be about my current adventures with MINIs.
One from the past:


so wait – you were born at a young age? That’s odd, because most people are born at an old age…
Sorry – couldn’t resist…
Great job Peter! I couldn’t even pull this off!

It should also be noted by all that Peter is an all around swell guy and a walking encyclopedia of all things MINI.
I consider myself fortunate to call him my friend.
CAR RAMROD!

If you are a Mini encyclopedia, perhaps you can enlighten me. Why is the new Mini “Clubman” not called the “Traveller”? From my knowledge, the classic “Clubman” is just a front end variation. People don’t know they’re getting the names wrong between the two. Maybe you can talk to Mini HQ and make a correction starting ‘09!
PS thanks for the wheel!
