    She lives north of Chattannooga? If her town is along HWY 411 [between Chattannooga and Maryville], she isn't far from the Dragon...you should stop by next year [on your way to MOTD] and introduce her to the area!

    Looks like you found a very nice MINI for your mother in law. You do realize that she now has a lifetime warranty & YOU are the guy that has to do that warranty work. :D

    One tip, change the trans fluid if you want the translation to live a long life. :Dead:

    I did the timing chain and tensioner on my R58 and her Clubman is still quieter. The rest I will for sure do.

    @wmwny she can’t drive a manual and it found a great home. :D

    @Dave.0 now that is a good idea!

    Nice S, yes, walnut blast it, change the oil, change the trans fluid, put an updated oil return feed line setup on from Detroit Tuned, that area is a light snow zone, so good all seasons should do for tires, maybe change to Conti all seasons when it is time for new tires. Stay ahead of the oil changes and oil levels on the N14 engine. Check the timing chain tension and replace as needed. Looks good, get her some coco mats front at least. :) . Nice unit! :)

    I’d like some magnetic or otherwise
    detachable curb feelers for the rare
    occasions that my wife drives (and
    consequently parks) my clubman.
    Unfortunately, in terms of keeping
    pristine rims, that ship has already sailed.

    What that MINI needs are a nice set of eyelashes. ;)

    Its not a JCW though, just an S. It has a JCW strut brace on it so the guy I bought it from thought it was a JCW and put the strips on it. I ran the VIN it's an S

    Those stripes are the only thing I'd change. They are the equivalent to eyelashes. ;)

    Change the tranny fluid or engine oil on your way to or from MOTD. What's a few miles out of your way?
