    Hey Nathan, did you ask the nice man if he knew Cooper? Were you checked for skittles?

    Glad you got off with a warning. :Thumbsup:

    Watched her happily motor past the 100k mile mark.

    Plus, she is a CVT to boot.

    You know the kewlest thing about the full JCW exhaust I was able to buy...

    I dropped by our soon-to-be NEW MINI dealer in Shelburne, VT at the Automaster, and was talking with a friend of mine who owns GP #0280. I mentioned that I needed a new exhaust, my original drivers side stock one on my 2006 R53 that has 49k miles on it has a split in the seam. He said he has one... "off your GP?" I asked (at this point my head was spinning inside - now I don't need to buy the Milltek - OMG a JCW, krickey!). He said, "Yup, I put on a Borla, it sounds so good now. You can swing by and pick it up, I need a propshaft for my Land Rover I'm building". I said, "no problem, ill order one right up for you". I made him a good trade and stuffed it in!

    When I was ordering our R53 new I had the choice of several options to buy, of course the full JCW kit was at the top of the list unfortunately, all the other items I wanted were on the list too. Darn, hate it when the MoF gets in the way... I thought, if I didn't buy the R90s and aero kit front end at delivery, I new I'd never get them later on. I did want the JCW exhaust but thought, I'll just buy it when mine wears out. Little did I know that MINI would be NLA on this part.

    Sometimes, things just fall in your lap when you least expect it, AND so locally!

    Should make for a nice upgrade between the JCW exhaust and Brembo sports brake kit. At least I made it to almost 50k miles on my original brakes.
