    Nice. Can’t go wrong with a Chili Red R53. Post up some photos when it’s all cleaned up.

    There is an MC40 owner’s thread on NAM, I assume you’ve found that ready.

    And there is mc40.com

    I know it's never going to be like a GP, but I thought there would be more fans of the car. Might need to setup a space on facebook to see who else is out there.

    There is a group on FB. Search for “MINI Cooper S MC40â€.

    Welcome to the MC40 owners club! What number is the new addition?

    I would recommend joining the MC40 owners thread on NAM. Lots of info there if you can't find parts or part numbers.

    Hoping it warms up soon to get out and cruise.

    Edit: If you are taking off your old decals the 3M wheel is invaluable.

    My MC40 is #12. I bought it in Ithaca NY.
    Just had it checked out at the local Mini Dealer. FLushed some fluids, but overlooked in very good shape.

    I used the 3m wheel last night to take off the decals on the hood. Amazing!!

    Polished the front end, and re-applied the Rallye Plate.

    Looking great! You have any mods/tuning planned for it?

    Ok - so what do you mean by the 3m wheel? I assume that is a polisher?
