    Very nice GP. Sorry to hear you are selling it. Someone will get a great MINI & the best of the R53's. :Thumbsup:

    If I had the money I'd be on the way there to pick up your GP. Can't believe it hasn't sold yet. Good luck with the sale.

    If that car is indeed as advertised, and I had garage space, it would be there right now....unfortunately, I'm at my maximum capacity of 4 wheel vehicles.

    The '06 GP is far and away my favorite Mini of the BMW era....by far....:Thumbsup:

    Yeah, I know. I truly love the car, but I want to upgrade to something that I can really push, without fear of ruining it. Putting a cage and lots of track mods would just devalue the car. And unfortunately, I can't keep the GP and have a track rat. She's a great car!

    I forgot to add that it has new front brake pads, fluids have all been changed, and I had the windshield replaced last year, it wasn't broken, just pits. It's an awesome car!

    I'm not sure yet. I want something rearwheel drive, around 300hp, sporty but not heavy, nimble - NOT A MIATA. I really like the Scion/Toybaru triplets, but might wait until the full track version is released. $31k for a six point cage, race seats, and harnesses is a pretty sweet deal. Or I may just keep the GP and lust over other cars. I'm in no hurry to sell the car, but I do need to upgrade.

    Yep, I still have it. Like I said, I'm in no hurry to sell it. But if you want an even more awesome car for MMW this year, she's the one!

    Giving this a bump. I know it's been a while, but I'm serious about selling the car now. It's got 42K miles.
    NEW PRICE!
    $19000.

    Yeah, I wasn't supra ready to let her go. But it's time to move on to other motoring adventures. AND I'd love to see it go to someone on the forums!
