Well after hunting for 2 months I finally found a Mini down in Ft Lauderdale. It is a 2006 Pepper White Cooper S it only had 6,000 on it. I got it for $15,500. I have been on the website reading about what to look for and I did a pretty good look over it before I bought it. It was of course owned by an old lady who bought it from them and traded it in on a 2012 Mini. It is in perfect shape and they gave me a 60 day warranty. Just got home driving 200 miles on I-95 and it drove like a charm. Here are the options English Black Leather Premium Package Sport Package Limited Slip Differential Center Armrest Actually had a guy who came in to buy it as I was doing the paperwork and they must of had 4 phone calls on it also. I showed up at 9AM to make sure this one wouldn't slip away. Pics coming soon I am looking forward to starting the mods and to continue educating myself on the boards.
Nice MINI! I guess one perk to living & FL & dealing with old ladies is that once in a while they trade in a cool MINI that you can pick up. Nice MINI! Welcome to M/A...
:cornut: Welcome Welcome! NICE MINI with excellent Provenance(duh hyuk hyuk was that the right word Goaljnky?) considering price/age/condition/miles. You bought that MINI by listening to us? WOW!!!!!! Jason
Thanks for the welcomes. Going to add some H&R springs (got them in my Cobra love them) CAI, and rear sway bar this week. Gotta start looking for an exhaust. I've had Magnaflow on my Stang so I might give that a try. Next month doing the pulley swap. The story behind the 914 is saw it on a country road when I was stationed at Campbell and talked to the owner who was a retired Blackhawk pilot. He only wanted $2800 for it so I couldn't say no. It was his mothers and then his and then his son, but his son didn't want to do any work on it so I promised him I'd take care of it. He had a stack of records and even had the original bill of sale from Nov. 1970. Here's a few pics pics of it.
:cornut: I was in hopes that it would make people laugh. I do though have a problem with opening my mouth only to change feet.:lol: Jason
