8 years old tomorrow

Still looking good, as as fun as ever to drive


90K miles and did all of this to her over the past few weeks:
  • Scorpion Exhaust
  • Plugs
  • Brakes/Rotors
  • Oil/Filter
  • Gearbox fluid change
  • O2 Sensors
  • New Radiator hoses/Flush
  • New Drive Belt
  • Cabin Filter
She should be good for a while ...

Fortunately, even though it's been through 9 Pennsylvania winters, two things help:

1. 3m Clear Bra
2. It's small so it doesn't take forever to clean up

Not to mention the paint job is the best paint on any car I've ever had.

Congrats to all the first generation early adopters. We'll be celebrating a double 8th birthday for my MINI's at the end of May.
