2013 Mini Cooper S named Sleeper S R56

Hello,
My name is Chris and i have a 2013 Mini Cooper S in Spice Orange Metallic.

I have owned the car since august 2016, and i have full extensive plans to build the car into something special.

I just changed the rear rotors and pads today, and i tore a dust boot on the passengers side caliper piston. Makes sense, otherwise it would have been an easy job, which it never is with a mini.

Anyways, i look forward to extracting every last bit of knowledge there is from this forum, and i would like to say thank you to all the knowledgeable members that will help me on my journey.

Motor ON!​​​​​​​

Cigar City Brewing rules, they make my favorite beer hands down -
Maduro Brown Ale is good stuff!
