Hello all, Just leased a 2013 MCS 6-speed last week. I'm a tech at MINI and they rolled out a great employee lease deal, and my daily driver was sucking gas down like crazy and the trans is acting up so I decided to treat myself to something nice. They only had a select few black hardtops that were manual and had Harmon Kardon, so I got a few other options that drove the price up a little bit however, I'm happy I got them! Xenons, black housing headlights, and sunroof.

Despite the additional cost of a car payment I will save a ton on gas and a few bucks on insurance, also maintenance. My other cars are my retired daily driver, 92 Toyota 4Runner, 1990 BMW 735i (has now become a project car due to a failed transmission) and my original project car a 1990 VW Corrado G60 (put a VR6 in it then got married and project went on hold). Maybe I should check myself into caraholics anonymous! Now happily divorced I can have as many cars as I can handle, anyway enough banter...here's the new ride....






first order of business, the chrome, it needs to go. Then maybe some wheels, luckily when I turn the car in I can use the wheels on the Corrado.

 

Congrats, welcome aboard.
