Today I have had my MINI for 1 year.It turned 26K miles this morning.This will not be a long report as I have had no problems.I had a pully,CAI and Borla exaust installed at 9K miles.The car has made 1 cross country trip and a Canadian cross country trip.The only other mods I have done is windows tinted,removed rear seat and installed a flat floor.I installed Sirius sat radio and a Garmin street pilot 2610 navi system.I replaced the windshield because a rock hit it on a gravel road in western Canada spit out from a large truck.I had 1 ratle in the rear that went away when I removed the rear seats.Thats it hope the next year will also be uneventful.
