mini experience

i just enjoy my 'o8 mcs to the nth degree. my car has been, mechanically, perfect. you know, i have a few rattles, but some of my previous cars had the same, ( merc's, bmw's. porsche's, camaro's, even ferraris'). basically, all things considered, this is the best "enthusiast car" that i have ever owned.
i haven't done any changes to my car yet. i really like the "jcw" aero kit.
on another note, the mini clubs that i have "run" with are just a great fun group. basically. "GO MINI".

Yeah, MINIs have pretty much been life-altering as it relates to my relationship w/ a car. I've been in MINIs since 2003....obsession is a way of life now!!!

Yes, the Vega was quite the car; came from the factory pre-rusted. I went to do some body work; applied the Makita wire brush, and went instantly from green paint to rusty metal. No primer, no undercoat: just green on steel. When thoroughly rusted, the fenders resembled fine lace.
