    I've loved them from afar since the new Mini was introduced. Finally picked up a 2005 R50 four days ago and haven't stopped smiling yet!

    She's bone stock, high mileage and has a few scars, but she's solid mechanically and runs like a top. I've got over 350 miles on her if that tells you how much I like driving her.

    She's named after Mrs. Kensington from Austin Powers Man of Mystery since she's always a proper lady, but quite capable of kicking butt when necessary! :biggrin5: :Thumbsup:

    Oh yeah, not that its important but a little about me. Father of 4, married 22 years and new found lover of Minis...hmmm, it seems I keep coming back to her. Lol.

    LOL! I'm in familiar territory there. I also own a 2002 Yamaha Roadstar, easily one of the more moddable motorcycles out there, and the RoadStar Clinic has the same influence on me. :biggrin5::biggrin5::biggrin5:

    My only problem now is dividing what little bit of disposable income I have between the two...:cryin::cryin::cryin:
