Thanks . I love this little car . I had a room mate with a 66 mini when i was 17 and have liked them ever sence.
I'd avoid the 2nd Generation if you're not going newer than a 10'. If you do go newer, avoid the N14. All MINI's have their issues but the N14 cars are arguably the worst engine to have. Stick with the 04-06 S's. Bad lil machines right there. Oh! and Welcome!
Im sticking with this one. I should be able to drive it for a while with no issues. It only has 55k on it now.and with spreading the miles over 7 cars i dont put very many miles on just one.thanks for the heads up on the newer ones.
