Well my MINI experience has come to an end. We traded the Clubman in for a 2010 CPO 328i xDrive Touring this week. I'm excited to have more space, toys, and AWD for the winter, but I will definitely miss the go-kart-like handling of the mini and generally being able to drive it like a hooligan (safely of course). The MINI was the funnest car I have ever owned and maybe someday we'll get a new generation, who knows what the future holds!

Thank you to NAM, this is an awesome forum, it helped with many questions along the way, and I was able to provide some help myself! And thank you to all the MINI folks out there, a great bunch of car owners.

I have some parts for sale if any fellow Canucks are interested:
