Dealer low balled my trade-in value. Sold it for way better $ to Carmax. Now I have to see if my bank (luckily same as Carmax) will credit the bank draft same day. Otherwise, I am stuck waiting until Monday to get my car.

It was there at the dealer. It had just come back from tint. Looked good. Sales guy started it and let me mess with it. Dang exhaust sounds good for stock. Rumble pop and burble. Ahhhhh!!!! I'm so close.

 

Good call going to Carmax. When we traded Babs oil burner in on her clubster we got a price from Carmax before heading to the dealer to get her car. Our dealer beat Carmax by a fair bit which to me was quite a surprise.

Hang in there, a few more days won't kill you, but it sure will feel like it. Hope you get it today. :fingerscrossed:

 

What am I doing with my MINI today? I'm climbing on a plane to fly to Austin to pick it up tomorrow morning and drive it home over the weekend! An '05 JCW R53 (my favorite) in Chili Red (new for me, after my low-key PW/PW) with painted arches and the red leather interior.

 

Really? I'm buying mine from MINI of Austin.

Also, check in hand. I'm picking up my JCW TODAY!!!

 

Sounds like...

"Two brothers from another mother"

 

Looking forward to pictures.

Holy crap is it amazing to drive. The stock exhaust is awesome. Pops and burbles on downshifts sounds so good on WOT acceration.

 

Very nice Redbeard I like the color combination. Enjoy!

 

Last week I replaced the fuel pump with a DW uprated pump from Greene Performance. During reinstall, I broke the fuel level float arm. Today, I replaced that arm - yay for a working fuel gauge.

In the other R53, noticed a rear caliper dust boot was torn - so replaced that along with new rotors all around.

Awesome looking car. Enjoy!!!

 

Clear bra and weathertech floor mats.

I was considering an exhaust pre-purchase but damn this one sounds great. I'll give it 6 months and see if I still feel that way.

Drove to Copperas Cove for a Falling Steel match (sucked badly ) then back home. The drive was fun.

 

Took the family to the mountains today for some apples and cider.

Took Finnegan to DQ for a blizzard!!

 

Had my Daughter pull mine out of the storage building for me. Now I'll look at it out the back door for a few days, until oh dark thirty Friday. Then I'll find out how much fun it is to drive it with a cast on my right hand and wrist. Return trip will be a piece of cake though, after they remove this dam thing.

 

Took a 400+ mile road trip to NC. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near the Smoky Mountains.

 

Wow, Finnegan looks just like Casey, from that photo.
