Well Today was the big day. I was patrolling craigslist like a hawk for the past 6 weeks and found something that finally sparked my interest.



One of my two favorite colors on a mini next to the British Racing Green. She is an 05 Mini Cooper S with 66K miles. I picked it up for $7500 which I thought was a steal. Zero accidents on the vin, and I'm the second owner. Get to pick her up this afternoon around 3pm. This should be a perfect car for work and show.

People will either love or hate me here but that is something I have swallowed on my other forums... I am more geared towards stance then functionality but to each of their own. Not 100% sure where this car will take me in terms of the tuning world as i have an e93 M3 where I have a decent amount of money invested in her... and this needs to be my work car for the next year.

I am really on this forum to learn and contribute when I can. I hope to see you all around. Thanks for having me.

 

Well, I picked her up she runs great, looks great, and is a blast to drive. I am taking her up to VT tomorrow to pick up a Thule Atlas 1500 polished black luggage rack.

If anyone in the VT area is down for a little drive and maybe lunch at Al's french fries or Sweetwaters let me know.

 

Welcome and congratulations!

 

Congratulations, that's one of my favorite first gen colors as well. That's a great price, around here a clean '05 would run ~$12-14k.

 

Thanks guys, drove up to Burlington this morning picked up my Atlas 1500 Luggage Rack. going to get it set up tomorrow. I'll toss some new pictures up in the afternoon.

 

Congrats! Looks nice!!
