Hong Kong Hello! R53 BRG

Hello from Hong Kong! This is our first car in Hong Kong (after moving from the US in 2010) and also our first Mini. We found a 2002 Dec R53 to enjoy.

Hong Kong is a small country so it only has 75,000km however the years have taken their toll and we enjoy a propper leaky engine and water in the boot when it rains.

Despite that, I have fallen in love with the car; the beautiful body lines, the lack of audio due to the HK amplifier failure, but most importantly the way it drives. So... much.... fun.


Wet Boot

HK parking at its finest...

Glad to join this commuinity and try to improve my new toy before it's too old!!

Yep it has the leaking sunroof drains, and i would poke a hole under the battery mount as back up.

Congrats on the MINI.
