Let me introduce Poco. He is an April built 03, Canadian spec. BRG/W. Factory; Cold Weather Sport Suspension Regular guy bells and whistles. Mods; Front mud flaps Way/DDM intake Engine damper SS brake lines Megan catback exhaust aux. input I bought him off the lot from MINI Winnipeg. He had 13 kms(8 miles or so) on his speedo when I test drove him, so I was the first one to take him off the lot. He still had some of the protective plastic covering on. I took him home the next day At the time I was commuting over 100 miles a day, 95% highway. So in his first 3 years he racked up 90k miles. During his second winter, with 40k miles, his axle seal froze, it was -45C(-50F) that day, dumping fluid out of his Midlands tranny. That was replaced with a new(not rebuilt) Midlands, which so far is holding up very well. When it does decided to shoot craps, I see a 6 speed Getrag going in him. Since moving to the St.Louis area, 3 years ago this fall, he now puts on in a month, less miles than he would do in a week. He now has a little over 105,000 miles.

It's an Aultec (sp) Took it off our Cabrio when we traded it in for our Clubbie. There was a slight clearance issue when I first put it on, but the bonnet blanket has taken on the shape, so no issue. The only reason I installed it was because it was free, I don't really think it does much. Mark
