Farewell.

My MINI is gone. The combination of bad roads in my area, short wheelbase, and racecar suspension conspired to make my R53 close to unbearable to me as a daily driver. I ended up trading it on a Subie (and never looked back...I love Subies...always have). Someone though is going to end up with a really nice '05 MINI-S. It's sitting on one of the dealer lots in Middletown NY. It's all-Jet Black, with cf stripes on the hood and chrome package. It only has 18K miles and is like new!

Also, look for some tasty used accessories I'll be selling right here in NAM's Marketplace.
