    The Monte Decision

    Appreciate the comments - tho' they all seem to come from Chili Red folks.

    Had been enjoying our R56 and looking for another car for fun, both driving and wrenching. The new F56 does not interest me - it seems to have lost its MINIness. So, decided to get a fun MINI, an R53, before they are all worn out. My preference was for Chili Red, then found this MC 40. Plan to keep the outside stock. Have purchased new decals, but amp up the suspension and engine. It only has 40,000 miles, so there should be many miles of fun left.
