General Information

Year 2004
Make MINI
Model Cooper S
Color Blue

History
I picked up this car in May of 2007 from West County Auto Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri. Being a car guy I immediately started to work on my new vehicle. I had previously worked on Hondas so the MINI was a big difference, not only to work on but as far as the price of parts as well. I've done my best to get it going a little quicker and getting there a little more stylishly. Its still a work in progress though so feel free to offer advice.
