Nicely done, Andy - looking sharp!

My first was a 2007 R56S, which is currently in the garage for major repairs - blew an exhaust valve last year and I've been busy with other things. My daily is an R55S, gives me just a little more room for hauling goodies around town.

Welcome aboard!

Nice looking mini! If you not doing anything this Sunday, some local Mini groups are doing a fun little run around Lake Elsinore.

Here's the link if your interested, we'd love to have another mini lover run with us. Nam won't let me post the link to the facebook event, but you can look it up.
