Minzila's build sheet says he was born on Jan 16 2002. He was the first "S" to roll off of the truck in Orlando. He's been a good boy. He's only been to the MINI Dr. twice (not counting oil changes). Once for a leaking coolant tank and once for a cold start problem. This car is still on it's original windshield and has had none of the driveability problems I've read about here. He feels as tight now as the day I drove him home. No rattles, no stumble, and no yo yo. After nearly 27k miles, I still get a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.

Beautiful car!! :smile:
Glad that you have not experienced the pain of feeling your baby burp constantly (yo-yo) and the dreaded nightmare (Stumble). Thanks for your input!!!
One day mine will be habilitated and we shall motor forth together in harmony.
:smile:

Cheers,

It's really nice to hear about long term satisfied drivers. My DS/W, MCS with
V-spoke wheels and white bonnet stripes will be two years old in September and with the stumble having been exorcised, I hope my 2 yr. celebration will be as happy as yours. Enjoy!
