    I haven't been here for a while. On Monday, I said goodbye after 6 years of happy driving when I found an almost exact match but with upgrades.

    New to me features are: cold weather package, cruise control, steering wheel radio controls and sunroof. Gone are my rust, suspension issues and cracked leather seats.

    Wash.
    Claybar.
    Wash again
    Wax.

    The bonnet is not quite as bad as the boot.

    Took the family car out to where I can put that "ALL4" to good use. I wouldn't exactly say "Jeep Trail Rated", but it aquitted itself okay.

    There are a few places in the US showing it new for around $40-$45 USD and say it will ship in a day or two. Not sure how much shipping to Canada would be, or how that price compares to what you've found.

    The R is a lot of car performance wise. This old fart thinks it is one of the ugliest things out there. But when you are sitting inside holding the wheel & working the peddles carving a twisty back road all that outside stuff would be forgiven. :Stig:

    It's warmed up enough here now. One more shot of the oxymoron (a big MINI) before the Black wheels and snowtires come off tomorrow morning.

    What sits my my driveway. Wife took the F60 Countryman out, and I had just finished putting a new clutch in the mid-engined car.

    New to the forum, new to minis, BUT not new to cars.

    Drove to work and at lunch looked to see that I got flanked on both sides from other minis. Seems like there is some kind of rule that says "park next to the Mini"

    Actually, I might go to a scrap yard not too far from my place and see if anybody wrecked a R53 MINI of late.

    No snow? I'd say that's the right end of the continent.

    A friend's boss has a show car, with many layers of candy paint, that gave the paint a deep rich look, it was a show winner. He took it to the store one nice day and parked far away from the store in an empty part of the parking lot.

    While he was still sitting in the car, another car pulled up next to him and the diver got out and let his door ding the side of the pristine show car, it even chipped the paint. The show car owner got out, surveyed the damage, yelled, "WHY?" Then he jumped up on the offender's car's hood and kicked the windshield in. The other driver just stood there with his mouth open.

    The show car owner then got into his car and drove back home. He never heard another thing about the incident.
