    If he is coming back I don't think he is going to the dealer for a good car because they don't sell the R53.

    Good so see some familiar fellow knuckle-heads. :D

    I'm definitely custom ordering a new MINI. I don't think I'll be getting back to the track with it though. Maybe an AutoX for fun once the weather cools down again. Since I have been living in Central Texas another hobby has taken up my time and $.

    I had the Mustang up until last year. I got laid off and I needed something that was less to insure and easier on the gas mileage. I picked-up a 2015 WRX (Manual, but VERY stock). I have been employed and stable for almost a year and as nice as the WRX is it's not my cup of tea. So, after conversing with my wife and test driving/thrashing my Dad's F56, it was agreed I needed to get another MINI. I have a build created but until I actually order it I don't want to post it up.

    I look forward to Dave becoming friendly to the F56 owners here & everywhere. It has to happen. In the meantime I won't be holding my breath. Heck a guy could turn blue. > :wink:

    Welcome back Redbreard. :Thumbsup:

    Welcome back Redbeard.

    Dave's acceptance of the F56 is implausible, improbable, doubtful and problematic as it would cause a massive rift in the space-time continuum.

    Welcome back. Be nice to have another F car on the forum for Dave to disparage. :biggrin5:
    I look forward to seeing your car.

    Oh I remember Dave. I was the victim of his R53 bias when I was rockin' the R56. He has to compensate for having an R53 somehow. ;)

    Finally someone with an F car with some thick skin. :cornut:

    Just remember to change that oil every 100 miles or the new motor will go boom. :lol:

    No F-car yet. Still just a Subie. Soon though. Soon.

    I haven't placed the order yet.

    Perhaps I should start another thread elsewhere and make it a guessing game if someone can guess the model and color scheme I am going to get. :idea:

    I'm guessing Black with a Red top. Those colors look pretty darned nice on a MINI. Although I'd hate to have to keep a black car clean. My dark grey German bread-van is bad enough.

    Close on color. You need to guess the model though.

    How about, no. ;)

    You can still find damn good R53's and Original Gen 1 GP's. :aureola:
