Thar she blows!

Brought my new to me 2004 S home tonight. Man, she runs great.

Welcome to the World of MINI. Looks like you got yourself a really nice R53! If you haven't been already, you will be bitten by the Mod Bug. Be careful, it can hurt (your pocket book $)

Dunno, sounds like the gauntlet has been thrown.

Nice MINI, good color combo.

Nice looking! If I couldn't have an Electric Blue MCS I might just choose one in British Racing Green.

How many miles?

Enjoy it!

Thanks all..... she has 160k on her and runs and drives beautifully. I'm going to have a hard time staying out of it (I bought it for my son).


tonight was his first time driving a stick and he's having a ball with it.


Btw, my 97 Harley cost 7k. I'd trade it for another MINI, Convertible, in a second.........

Great little R53... I was in the market for a nice R53, but ended up with an R56.

I'd like to pick up a MCS R53 if I find the right deal. I miss that supercharger whine.
