    Awwww shucks. Ya'll are just too sweet. Hahaha.
    To TheModFather, aye, that's what I've been doing the past two years. I feel like I could talk MINIs better than most enthusiasts at this point. XD And I'll probably have a good sit-down with myself to properly asses my priorities for that car the second I grab one. Haha. Me and the MINI will have a severe chat about proper spending habits. I appreciate it! I'm in Monument, but once I've got myself a MINI I'll definitely pop up there at some point for a good chat/drive. :)
    I've been in Martial Arts for so long that I've taken to calling everyone sir. ;P Sooooo that's pretty normal coming from me.
    I must say, I like you lot better than MU or MT (But don't tell them I said that) Lol.

    I have been trying to get Jan out here for a few years... Just cant seem to fill the slots needed for him to justify the trip. Maybe some day.

    Regarding your last sentence, did I not tell you that would happen on page one of this thread? You can high five/good game me later.

    This^

    And you've built yours, tuned it, modded it, whatever you want to call it, AND you drive it hard and track it. Doesn't seem like this guy does any of that. Hahaha. Nor do I plan on it, either. I plan on babying this car, and letting it stretch its legs occasionally. Honestly I'm fine with the speed it gives stock, I just want it to be a little punchier, a little louder (Especially on the S/C side), a little prettier, and a lot lower. Lol. So I think this will last for quite a while.
    I'll keep looking around some more and wait a little longer, but I'm keeping my eye trained on this guy.

    +1 For the '05... Its a pretty blank slate, and minus the miles (being in Carbondale, and commuting to Denver for service) that tells me its more mountain highway miles than anything.

    Or you could wait for something closer and cheaper to pop up at the dealer...

    ....and it puts a damper on the late night, drive back to the B&B, festivities that we conjure up at Fontana every night at the corner of MOTOR ON and YFM

    Countryman.... And they call themselves MINI. ;P Seriously... The Clubman was bad enough. Now with the Countryman, 4-door MINI, Paceman, heck, even the new 2015 Coopers!! It's sad how quickly things declined after the R56. Rant ended. Haha
    Oh, I didn't mean I'll need a ride like that. I was referring to Forest Gump. Box of chocolates?? Yeah.

    That's awfully sweet! Don't think I can make it though. I'll be going to see the lady this weekend. XD

    Fair enough. that sounds about right.
    yeah, I don't see why I couldn't make it to that!

    The second I pick one up, I'll have some for you. And I'm sure ModFather will be happy to post pictures, right?? ;) I want to see them too.

    Run "Isobell" through the search button. (I would post a link, but takes too much time with my phone) My build thread is there, crammed full of pictures! :)

    Thanks Dave for putting up the link, I only have 15 minute breaks at work to go through everything... :(

    Thanks Junkie, its been a long year getting it where it is now... All started with a weird dream, and I remembered I did actually have an R53 sitting in the garage! So far its perfect in my mind.
    You must be talking about Corey's car?
    [​IMG]?
    He has blown 2 axles in the last week, because he is trying to make his suspension do things that MINI suspensions shouldn't do!

    Oh Killboy, one of the photographers at the Dragon put these up this morning...

    Not sure how anybody could argue with a view like that! Well unless you are the 50 year old computer nerd that lives in his moms basement, and only comes out when his gaming site shuts down... (Like my brother in law)

    Bingo. Super fun car to drive, but there's a few issues with it that are pretty detrimental.

    Hahaha...besides, the power these Minis offer is so much better than what my FR-S has. They're a completely different animal in every regard, but like I said before, the only time I smiled as big while driving besides my FR-S has been while driving a Mini.
