New (used) Mini Dad
Howdy from TX.
Just bought my daughter an '06 R53 Automatic. My research 9 mos ago convinced me to steer her away to slightly more practical and less problematic, but fate intervened and a minor fender bender totaled her Beetle giving us a second chance. A quick find after refreshing my research and we now have a beautiful blue/white S in seemingly good shape with 84k.
I have a number of minor issues to fix (door lock actuator anyone?) but all in all it's a neat little car I have to admit.
I have found these types of forums invaluable for my many car projects and I expect this will be no different, so thanks in advance!

Welcome. Car looks really clean as it's nice to see them 10yrs later well taken care of as we see cars all the time just beat.
Door lock actuator is not too bad to do, just follow the instructions.
