New Owner-Jumped in HEAVY!!

Hi all,

Just took delivery of the twins. Two Black Classic Silverstone Minis. Very Happy with them both. Idea was to buy one and then all my friends were talking about how cool that would be to have one. Seller happened to have the "twin" and offered to sell it for the same price. Had them shipped to Chicago and now have a 5 deep waiting list to buy the 2nd one. Now I just have to decide which is the 2nd one. Actually had someone talking to me about wanting to buy the Mini while I was driving through downtown!! Had them for the last two days and have logged 250 kilometers between the pair. Got them up over 130 Kilometers on the Edens and Lake Shore Drive! Running smooooooth. Called the seller to try to assist with the decision of which Mini to call my own and which to sell and he laughed. "I couldn't choose as they are both awesome". Big help there. He's right though, as I have not been able to decide. Want to keep whichever one I am driving at the time. I have a rental parking spot Downtown and they both fit. Looking forward to driving both tomorrow!! Weather forcast indicates perfect driving weather-75 and sunny. Have to decide soon.............or do I????

Why not sell the broken one?

The list is up to 7 now for the second one. One added this morning at the coffee house and another at lunch. I'm not looking for people to buy, but they keep approaching me!! Over 500 kilometers logged and still can't decide which one to keep. This is WAY TOO FUN!!!!

Yeah, pics are priceless...

Look for rust in the seams from the inside.

Look also for which one leaks more oil.

If neither leaks, change the oil in each, likely they will leak then. If not I'd be surprised. If neither leaks after I would want to keep them both as well.

Sorry for the delay. Had a distraction in life with back surgery. All is well. I will get pictures posted within the next 2 days. Have to figure out how to do it!
