[QUOTE?]Very, very nice looking Generation 1 car. You have found a rare animal. Enjoy.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. We like it. This last year has seen us get completely "MINI" crazy. My wife traded her Land Rover LR4 for a dark blue Countryman (immediately had the dealer add the JCW tune kit, LED aux lights and dash camera), and just last week, I bought a beat up tired 2004 MC40 that I plan to resurrect and take to MTTS 2021 next July. I might start a build resurrect thread over on the official MC40 place for that one.
Here is another picture
Nigel in the parking lot at work with a few friends (also coworkers) Nigel "sharing" the garage with Monty. Nigel will soon need to spend a month or so in the driveway as I resurrect Monty. I am thinking of getting a car cover to keep the sun from damaging the vinyl flag on the roof.
09 MCS BRG I bought this over 2 weeks ago, had a new clutch and timing chain installed before I purchased it. Since then I have been busy with : replaced turbo oil feed line, oil cooler seals, valve cover gasket, fuel filter , HPFP, silicone intake pipe, RSB end links, rear brake pad sensor ( solder together) new wheels and tires, a million little fixes all over ( bulbs, nicks, dings etc) clean and detail > Came with Wagner tuning FMIC, NM piping, koni struts all around, larger sway bars
