Went to work this AM, I do auto paint touch-up several auto dealers and what do I see on the lot but a 2005 Pepper White Cooper S with 55K on her, very very clean. After about 3 minutes of thinking about it I bought her for $500 over what they had in it, I am picking it up at the end of the week. Pictures will be forthcoming. And yes I will be driving it to the Dragon, Woo Hoo.....
I have been looking for a 05 or 06 R53 for a while now, went to Baron MINI in KC Saturday and drove a coupe, really liked it but couldn't work a deal, as it worked out it was all good and waaay less money than a 2012 Coupe S. But I do see one of those in my future somewhere. Now to decide if I want to keep the 02 Justa, has been a great ride and it is now almost a classic..
