Sept. '03 build, bought new, and currently with about 25,000 miles.

I live really close to work (well, what used to be work - just got laid off), and everything else in this town is very nearby.

Picked up my 04 MCS in November 03. Turned over 113,000 (!) miles last week. Only problems have been a bad wheel speed sensor (covered under warranty) and a broken dipstick!
Yes....I LOVE to Motor!!

Oh...and still have the original clutch!

Picked my Indi Blue MCS on 5/29/04. Just turned 17K. Have a company car and THAMINI doesn't like the snow, so it lives in the garage through the winter.

Picked it up in Nov. '03. I have about 51,300 miles on it. Essentially no troubles, but for the left window motor - TWICE; an elec. problem that caused the dome light to NOT come on as it should have!! My mods are in the signature.

I purchased extended warranty to 84,000. Now, I wish I had not, as I am wanting a head and some other mods that are more likely to cause "uncovered" failures. But for now I continue to resist more exotic mods to stretch my already-paid-for protection longer and to not spend like a drunken sailor (no offense to you nautical types out there).

So far, everything is pretty much bolt-on, and MINI would be very hard-pressed to show that anything I have done would cause ANY failure.

So, I'm not worried, only conflicted.

Got my 2004 S in May of that year. So far I've got 36,000 miles on it (lots of drives from louisiana to california). Clutch went out at 24,000 miles due to "driving the hills of San Francisco"...whatever...Mini of Concord screwed me pretty good on that one...no other problems since then!

I bought my '03 Cooper S in SEP 02 and received it in NOV 02. I have 32K miles. Why? Since then I've been deployed 3 times... Colombia, South America... Baghdad, Iraq... and currently AGAIN - Baghdad!!! Woohoo! It sucks! I rather be motoring!

Keep Motorin'.

Ordered "Austin" on 01/29/04 and he is an 03/04 build. Took delivery on my b-day 04/04/04!! Austin is a daily driver and has 52.358 mi as of today. We have some minor issues that have been taken care of with no hassles from Classic MINI every time and we are doing great. My MINI Cooper will be with me until the day I die. Long live the R50/R53!! (Can't wait to add a Clubman in 2010 so Austin has a playmate!)
