so we ended up getting this one, since the high bidders backed out. The wheels are fantastic, I didn't care about leather vs. leatherette, and it's a 2006.

I'll be flying out to pick it up next weekend

I really think that it'll be fine with my 48cm tri bike, and we can always take the truck to big events where we just need a ton of gear (I'd like to keep the sweat smell out of the MINI anyway).

 

CONGRATS ON THE NEW MINI. YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! I got mine 2 weeks ago. Also you'll need to name it when you pick it up..

 

sweet ride! You'll love it. Congrats

 

The only name my car has had since I bought it is "the Mini", now my (almost) 2 year old calls it "Daddy's Car".

To name or not to name is more of an owners disposition kind of thing....
no big deal...

Spill some Coke on the seat. If the owner is a little pissed, it's leatherette! If the owner is a lot pissed, it's leather!

Actually, the ones who will really be pissed are those with CLOTH seats. The Coke will clean up off the leather or pleather just fine.
