I'm Back
After I sold my first mini. I always said I would be back in another!
Had a brief go around with a GP2 some years ago that I actually sold a month after acquiring it. Lacked the Raw feeling of the R53, IMO.
Besides that, I have been through a dozen cars searching for something that I want to hold onto. From M3's to a BRZ.
I ended up purchasing a Frankenstein of sorts, 2004 JCW R53. Completely rebuilt motor with lots of upgrades. British Racing Green like my original. But this time with No Sunroof!
Cosmetically it has some issues and I am working on it. Also, it had some unknown issues to me that dealt with a shotty quick supercharger swap from Sprintex back to stock from the previous owner.
I plan to take this car and really make it mine. Already have a lot of parts on order.
Will update my progress!
Also, crazy seeing how things have changed and how a lot of the old members' arent around anymore. I still see a few familiar names though.
