This thing followed us home this weekend...



09 Clubman S with 33,xxx on it. Wife's car after someone totaled her poor Nissan. I thought I'd say hello because I'll be the guy wrenching on it. We like to keep cars until they kaput. Hopefully into the 200,000. And from what I understand about MINIs, that could mean a lot of wrench time for me.

Anyway, she loves it. One of the few cars that hit all the check marks. (or square roots)

√ Manual
√ Everything fits. (She's a photograph and it needs to carry her lighting rig)
√ Handles well and is fun to drive
√ Didn't have to take out a second mortgage.
√ Has some kind of soul

At least you got it with the right idea.

I always warn folks about MINIs; I love driving them, but it's a commitment to keep them on the road. Seriously, though... welcome to the fold. That's a great-looking car. The Pure Silver never really needs to be washed and always looks great.

Welcome to NAM! What a great purchase. Just keep up on the maintenance and you should be good to go. If you ever need any parts for your wrenching pleasures, be sure to check out our parts catalog here. Enjoy!
