I've been looking around for a while and finally found her last week and just got back into town last night. I purchased a used '05 MCS from a guy down in KY. It's BRG with white roof/mirror/bonnet strips w/60k miles on it. He had a roadster on order and was looking to sell his R53 before it came in. It was due in this week so I guess I just had good timing with a little luck thrown in So far I'm loving it!! Every time I get in it puts a smile on my face. The few tasteful mods that the previous owner had done doesn't hurt either! It was his third car for the last 3 years and from the looks of it took excellent care of it and I plan on doing the same! I look forward to diving into the mini community and I'll try to post some pictures later today
Welcome, from another MINI owner in Columbus. We have a "loose conglomerate" of MINI owners here called Mid Ohio Motoring. We get together the third Saturday of every month at Tim Horton's in New Albany for breakfast. Hope to see you at one soon...
In the flavor of Cooper S The previous owner had a buddy that worked for a Mini service place and had an Alta exhaust put on tuned to JCW 210hp...so I didn't mind that all BTW, that supercharger sound is already really addicting
Check out our Mid Ohio Motoring Forum here on MA. What part of Columbus are you from? Welcome to the addiction....hope to see you at breakfast.....you will only be required to buy everyones donuts at the first breakfast that you attend (LOL)
Nice to see another R53 join our "club". Hope to see you at the next breakfast. I was hoping we could start to do the dinner on the 1st Wednesday of each month if folks were up for it. It is all about the food.
I live over in the Polaris area and work in the Dublin area. I'm hoping the day I show up people have "other plans" and will unfortunately not be able to make it, lowering my costs (lol)
Hi there and welcome to M/A.... Hope to see you at the donut munch at Tim Horton's with the rest of the MOM gang....
Congrats! I know the MINI and person you purchased from. Should be a properly maintained MINI and expect many years of pleasure from.
