MINI Balls

History:

In late 2007 went to order a 2007 sidewalk cabrio after many months of thinking & reading. When I was about to sign some papers & hand over some cash I see this poor little 2002 with 27,000 miles looking in the window at me. I got a deal I could not pass up. So I drove him home that day and he became part of the family. Problem was my wife did not know I was even looking to get a Mini Cooper. My plan was to get her to want one also by the time the 2007 got in. Well that plan went to hell when I pull in the drive... but its always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission I still have much to do but thats 80% of the fun. I have done all work myself Painting, Upholstery, Mods.
