Death In The R53 Family

Sadly, my 2004 Electric Blue Mini Cooper S has died as a result of an off road excursion due to a texting driver. My S ran exceptional before the crash, providing me with thousands of trouble free super fun miles. I will miss the car very much and will be looking to replace my old friend soon. I'm staying with Mini as I have met so many great people in our community. Also, I have never had so much fun in a car, except of course my 1967 Chevy Malibu during High School but thats another story.

I'll be searching for a new travel partner soon, but nothing will ever be as special as my first Mini S.

That sucks; sorry to hear the bad news. Hopefully you find another S you like and can get to know just as well. Nothing can replace your "first", but like the Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man: rebuild it better, faster, stronger (or something like that )

Good luck, and happy hunting!
