It does not as he sold this to me, my original 2006 R53 exhaust had split a seam on the drivers side and he had this in his rafters, I couldn't pass this up.

Well, yes and no..........I'm the owner of the car. The old ad that "DaveGP280" (the original owner) had posted when he was thinking about selling the GP listed the car with 30,500. By the time I got to the car last July it had 32,300 on the clock (Dave drove it to work every day).

Anyhow, I still have the car........I've held the car now for two different "buyers" (I use the term loosely, you guys know how this usually goes, "I'll take the car,I'm getting financing arranged", "I'm finishing up my taxes but will take the car"), they have both flaked.

So for now I'm keeping the car........going to have some fun with it. I'm headed to Minis on the Dragon at the end of the month. The car is going into our shop (I'm the pre-owned manager at The Automaster........Honda, Mini, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover Dealer) and getting JCW cross-drilling & slotted rotors front, slotted rears, fresh pads, JCW Alcantara steering wheel, and Red Line fluids throughout...........ready to do what is was made for!

Anyone headed to the Dragon that want's to check out the car for either themseslves or a friend just drop me a note............maybe I'll see some of you down there!

Nice C, I knew you couldn't resist.
Do you want me to take it off my website or update this original posting?

Lets just leave it for now..........I'll re-up the sales process in about a month, provided I don't stuff the GP into a tree mid-dragon!
Thanks again!
