WOW a 1969 VW fastback...that was my first car. Mine was red with white interior. A hand me down from my dad when I was 16....I loved that car. Traded it for a 67 Camaro and a sterio system...lol.. I looked for years to restore and gave up long ago. Good luck with your resto, would love to see it complete.

I really do like the PDK....especially at the track but you have to get the Sports Chrono Plus option to really unlock all the potential of PDK and this is where a lot of buyers go wrong. I tend to drive the car on the street in manual mode because I am use to it that way and it keep it natural for me at the track. The only time I put it in auto mode is if I am driving an ddrinking a water.

I see you still have the JCW air filter on your Mini lawnmower, you should upgrade it to a CAI

In May, I got myself a 2002 Toyota MR2. I had wanted a roadster, and looked at a bunch of Miatas as well as a few MR2s, but ultimately decided on an MR2, mostly because you don't see a lot of them on the road. It's a blast to drive, much more visceral than the MINI. I also love how the MINI looks HUGE next to my MR2.

I enjoyed looking at 11 pages of everybody's fleet. Some have some pretty nice garages as well.

I have a regular cab, full size GMC truck that I can't part with. Stays home in the driveway most of the time.

Behind and in front of the MINI sits a Canondale M800 bicycle (with low miles lol), and my goofy looking red Honda Silver Wing Maxi-Scooter- the daily driver.

Also in the garage is a silver 1998 Mustang pony.
