Got rid of Oscar, say hello to my new Mini....

I love Oscar but I miss having a convertible. My last mini was an ’08 in laser blue...


Sooooooo, laser blue it is. Welcome my new mini....

Kinda just freaked out for a moment until the pics loaded. Mark...ugh you make me wonder sometimes

First thought-Why?
Second though-Who got the car? (And for how much?)

Thats a Mini that should never be sold ... i know how much you have done to the car mod wise but, just the paint job alone makes it worth not selling ... Oscar is envied by a lot of other minisother there

Actually, I really need one in Oscar. I'm waiting on a certain person to do the work, (I don't want some mickey mouse looking rollbar) Last year when I hit the wall at 120mph at VIR, I promised my mother I would install a roll bar for extra safety. As of yet, I haven't. (not a good son)

I just need to find one that still allows me to drive on the street and is removable should I sell the car (yeah, I know... a bolt in ) (better than nothing I guess)

THEN, I'm done with Oscar, there isn't anything else left to do (of course, lime green might be a cool color... )

He's a little too young to understand the steering wheel so you kinda have to chase him, but it was so close to the same car I have that I couldn't pass it up. And it was half off on Black Friday.
