After admiring at car shows 11 years ago, and envying them from the road, I am very excited to start a thread and introduce myself as a mini owner! I just drove it home last night 387 miles from Chicago through the four major thunderstorms that hit the Great Lakes region, and she handled like a peach!

I traded in a 2000 Audi TT with 131,600 miles on it for a 2003 R53 S with 16,600 miles on it, and boy I won't be looking back. I think I've found my soul mate.

Now if I can just fix that d@*& glove box.

 

Welcome, and congratulations!! Amazing low mileage car! Next, post pics when you can
