    I love when cars I know are in the random garage:

    cooper99's Garage :: MINI

    It is really weird to see Cooper's car in it's birth state I almost didn't recognize it without the painted arches and S-Anchors.

    Yep all of the MINI's were once stock. Seems as though few remain that way. Cooper has done a great job of making a sweet MINI out of his stocker. :Thumbsup:

    Hahaha I initially thought this thread had something to do with the stock market...

    A very long time ago, in a far away world, my Mini was 100% stock for almost 3 years.

    Wow Cooper for 3 years. How did you manage that? Mine did not last 3 months before I started changing things.

    Ummm...no offense but I've had and sold off about 15 sets of wheels in the past 4 years. I don't remember where they all went.

    How could you forget a weird conversation trying to understand that you were talking to a person named Cooper who was asking you about a Cooper car? The first time I met him I thought he was as dumb as a brick, then someone explained his name is actually Cooper.

    Cooper is very smart young guy to hang with the silverbacks & learn valuable life lessons from us. :crazy:

    But Cooper always told me he was teaching the Silverbacks tricks? Like high speed J turns.
