Looks great, Louros. I wish MINI would bring back that Rooster Red Lounge interior. I would have ordered that in a heart beat.

Agreed....I'd love a Roadster in all black and Rooster Red seats/interior would looks awesome...

I tried to build one last week but couldn't.

After messing with it all week, giving up, and driving it to a shop without the use of the clutch, I finally found out why I could not get any pressure in the system after bleeding it: the hydraulic line was missing a seal and the slave cylinder (the second one I replaced this week!) was also missing a seal. So I'm now Mini-less until Wednesday.

I ordered one Friday, going to use an older Samsung Tab my son gave me. Loaded free software from Torque Pro to look it over going to buy the upgrade now that I know it works with the tablet. Figured for a 13.00 ELM327 it was worth a try!
