Goodbye everybody!

Well, with great trepidation I pulled the trigger on a brand new Evo X yesterday. After 3 Coopers, (and not loosing a penny on any of them), 4 years of fun, I say good bye to a great group of enthusiasts, and think back at all the great times I have had in my Mini's. Keep motoring everyboday, and see you on the road. If you see a dude in an Evo giving you the thumbs up, that would be me!

Keep motoring!

RIP!

I hope thats a man hole!

Thanks for the comments, those are the 18 inch JCW rims, cool looking, but I hear the 17's are a bit more performance.

Glad you enjoyed your MINIs. I wish you well with your Evo. It looks like a pretty sharp machine!
