Just purchased our first Mini - 06' Dinan S no Sunroof!
We just finalized the purchase of our first Mini! It was very difficult to find the right car with everything you want with No sunroof in excell cond. I have followed the 'new' Mini before they came ot market in the late 90's. We have always planned on getting one, but things never came together, another car always came along. My wife & I have been long time BMW enthusiasts, we just sold our 06' Dinan M5 and are replacing it with a Mini S. A big change, huh?! Atleast there are still two other M's in the garage for the Mini to hang with. I have raced the M5 in the Cannonball One Lap of America for the past 3 yrs & it is almost out of warranty, and to own the M5 without warranty is not an option. We won the class in the One Lap last year, so we achieved the very best possible with the M5. It is probably the most incredible street car available today, we might miss it quite a lot, although plans are set to get a newer one in the near future...
One of the Mini locals in Central Florida, Ian with Maitland Imports in Orlando, Fl, has one of the most incredible Cooper S race cars out there. Ian's Mini race car was running similar lap times to the M5 around a road course. Now, THAT is impressive!! So, we will be building this Mini S to most likely compete in the Cannonball One Lap of America Rally in 2010 & run along side with the Maitland Imports race car.
Here are the details on the car:
2006 S w/ Dinan Signature pkg
Pepper White/Black NO sunroof
27k miles
Sport pkg
LSD
HK
Multifunction wheel
Anthracite headliner
Seven Trim
I will have pictures soon!
