Back to MINI!

Just picked up my MINI today, 2016 4-Door Hardtop.

Used to have an older Hardtop and a couple Countrymen.



Looks like she has a bow on her.

Congratulations! Welcome back to the world of MINI. The bow just makes it that much more special.

Looks awesome! I bet it is so hard during the break-in period to keep it under recommendations!

I need to look at options for 16" due to cost. I also don't want to ding the new pretty wheels, as potholes around here can be bad.

For reference this was my first MINI...should have never gotten rid of...



Black top and black wheels this time, plus a few more things I have in mind. This will take some time.

Sad to say, almost 3 years later I have decided to sell my MINI. The thought is to possibly go to a Clubman, but I don't think that is an option now, sadly.

Please visit my FS thread here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-door-6mt.html

I did add black wheels and I like the look, as this will come with both sets of wheels and roof rails/crossbars.
