Greetings and Salutations!

My husband and I have owned our 2004 MINI since.. 2004. I know, I'm lame for not getting my motor running earlier, but we've been busy!
We love roadtrips. We love driving. We love our MINI and intend to purchase a second.
She's a Pepper White S with over 110,000 miles and more on the way!
Sorry, no really exciting stories, but I promise we aren't boring.

Welcome, and good news to hear a happy driver with 6 digit mileage. What has been the most costly repair (if any) to date?

So why do apples hate you, "apples.hateme"?
Not smashing your MINI against the trees to get them down, are you?

Oh, and welcome to NAM.

Most costly repair?? Hmm, we ran our battery dry and paid $124 to replace it. A palette committed suicide in front of me and cost $483 in tires. We got new brake pads for about $300. All normal and acceptable wear and tear!

I'm allergic to apples, among other foods. But apples are the only food that has had near fatal consequences... I really liked the two apples I've eaten in my life. My family didn't appreciate the ER visits, hence, apples really do hate me. =]
Do you eat chilis??
And I would never use my(sorry, our) MINI for other-than-motoring purposes! ~tsk, tsk~

Thanks all for the welcome! I feel like the bee girl in the Blind Melon video!
