I'd like to say hello to everyone from Washington state. After years of wanting to own a Mini, we bought a previously owned 06 R50, space blue, low miles, two years ago, and love that car. We're interested in doing some light mods, (we already added 17" wheels and tires), and enjoy hearing how others have made improvements. We also own a 90 Volkswagen Westfalia camper, which we love as much as our Mini.
