Hi all, new member here hoping to rejoin the Mini owners club soon.

Previously had an awesome low mileage ‘06 R53 MCS in Chili Red, slicktop with the Union Jack on top. I loved that car, but life changes meant it wasn’t going to get much use for quite a while, so I ended up selling it about 8 years ago.

Now life looks like it is giving me a great opportunity to justify owning one again! Looking to jump back in with an R52 this time, preferably a JCW.

R52S here. Welcome to the drophead club, topless motoring IS motoring at its best. Only 4 reasons this top goes up: Its raining, its snowing, my co-pilot is whining about being too hot or cold, some guys throwing empty beer cans in the back seat and didn't invite me.
