Well as I posted in the first gear forum.. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=119897
I have been scouring this very nice web site for info on the mini my wife was contemplating on purhasing. After all the useful info your forum provided and two days of "testing" it, we did it. It's a done deal. Here she is. It is an 06 MCS with 22k miles. I still don't have a complete listing of all the options on it but it appears to be freaking loaded. Real leather, r90 anthracite wheels, LSD, aero kit, blah blah blah..... The more and more I dug info on it the more I couldn't pass up the $17,500 deal we had worked out. I'm stoked.

 

Very nice, I'm happy you went for it. Good pictures, a great looking MCS.

 

Very nice! You're probably already looking for a 2nd one, right?

 

Maybe in a little while I will find another to do a little autocrossing and trackdays with. Up until last year I rode/raced sportbikes but I'm almost 40 now and don't heal up as quick as I used to. There is a huge hole left where my tracktime used to fit.

Looking at the pictures, it looks like it will almost fit in the back of my truck.

Thanks for the props.

 

Welcome to NAM, owtcast!!! Great looking MINI!!!! Congrats!!

 

I'm lovin' those wheels.... what part of Texas you in?

 

Down on the coast.... in Beaumont. About 20 minutes from the beach to the south and 20 minutes west of Louisiana. Houston is an hour or so west of us. The roads here aren't near as nice to zip around on as the one's near you. Another reason to take road trips.

 

Welcome to NAM Owtcast! Beautiful car! Happy Motoring. Used to live near you long long time ago in Lake Charles, LA. Had many trips over to Beaumont - Not in a Mini of course

 

Probably a good thing since I-10 was brutal back then. They have just about gotten it repaved all the way across the state now and it doesn't feel like a buckboard wagon for 4 hours anymore. And thanks to everyone for the welcome.

 

Welcome and Congrats....I definitely like the looks of that MINI.

 

That's a steal!. I got an 06 MCS with similar mileage, but without LSD, sunroof, or aero. I also paid significantly more!

Congratulations on your new MINI! It's a beauty.

 

Congrats to you too! Let's see some pics of it.
