Hi, my name is Dave and I just bought two minis. Okay, skip the next 12 steps. Here's the facts. First one - my wife's - is a 2005 normally aspirated MC. Purple Haze, black top. Mostly a basic Mini, but cute cute and loads of fun. I tokk her to pick it up in my Dodge Ram. The fates were smiling. Lost my valves on the way home (imagine that). I used to drive sports cars. My last was the original Audi Quattro. Fast, torquey, handled great and gorgeous. But, no one could fix it - parts were generally not available. So I gave up on cars and have been tooling around in trucks for some years. But, I got the fever when I drove my wife's Mini.
Went off to the dealership to look at a 2004 MCS - loaded. Almost bought it, but behind me was a 2003 JCW, same 12000 miles and only a couple of thou more (or so). I looked at her, she looked at me. Soul mates. EB, white roof with black & white checkered sunroof and mirrors, white 8 spokes 17" run-flats, aero kit, all the packages, leather seats, nav, HK premium stereo. No JCW brakes or suspensaion and no LSD, but who's complaining.
Like everything else I get my hands on, I'll probably be pulling it apart soon and making modifications. Will have tons of questions to post. I have been cruisaing this site. Great people, great insights. I thought I'd say hi to all and happy to be part of your community.
