Well, That happened.

Huh. I found a Nice MCS for sale locally. I said "eeehhhhh" sure I'll check it out.

So now I will buy it. No pics until it's ACTUALLY MINE and in my possession.

But for now. Yay.

But I am exited.

I'm not saying anything until I have the car in my driveway. :p

However id never thought I would own a MINI. They never much did anything for me.

But this one was too good to pass up. IMO.

Let's see what happens. I get the car on Thursday at the latest.

In the pics yeah. Up close not so much. It needs a good detail.

Restored Leather, HK (Sounds awesome), Sunroof (Hate sun roofs), Xenons, heated seats, ect.

It needs new brakes and I'll replace the timing chain tensioner because it's only 25 ish bucks. Plus it's easy to get to.

Very nice. Right color too. A clean engine bay says a lot about it's care.
One thing to add is a pair of strut tower defenders, they prevent strut tower mushrooming, an easy install. Either Pelican or ECS can fix you up with those.

Initial D! Awesome! The paint and exterior items look to be in very good condition, considering it's a Florida car. Since you'll be doing brakes, check out our overhaul kits HERE. They give you everything you'll need for front and rear replacements. Any plans with it or keeping it as is?
