Wow Thompson surprised you are selling your MINI. Good luck with the sale, someone will get a great car.
Thanks guys. Don't worry Chuck, I'm buying something faster Yeah somebody will score big time. I had two guys fly out from Maine and met them at BTV airport, one owned a '05 R53. He was test driving and said, "Wow this is really clean and is tighter than mine…". Pretty fast for a stock engine with only the JCW intake and GP factory exhaust.
Come on people..... Some one with an R56 must want to upgrade from carbon issue.....:crazy::eek6::lol: This is a great car. Free Bump
Thank you for the bump Dave. Yes this is a really good deal and shouldn't last that long at this price. ps... For those in the know and that have been around since 2006... This is THE R53 that is used when I dreamed up and designed the original "Owner's Club" badges. So, she's got some retro Internet pedigree. Cheers, Thompson
