    Father and son ZHP thread.

    So I decided to make a project thread for my fathers car. Mainly because in the near future, the car should be mine. He is in his 60's and understandably wants something more his age. (Cadillac Deville ) He absolutely loves the car, he always gets on it on the hi-way when I'm riding with him. (and probably does alot on his own) He loves the looks of the ZHP and the body lines with the top down, and loves how smooth the straight 6 is. He just would probably rather have it as a weekend car. So what seems like is going to happen is this. Buy Caddy. Put MINI in garage until its sold. I drive the ZHP, and then take over it fully once the my car is sold.

    Inheriting a ZHP? I got no complaints! Honestly, I'm pretty sure he bought the car with that in mind.

    SO here she is when we first got her at the dealer.55,7XX miles






    First "mod" No holes license plate frame 56,7XX miles



    First bit of maintenance. Oil change, cabin filter, and air filter. Still gotta change the plugs.~59,5XX miles




    Most recently: Took out the DISA and repaired it with the kit from GAS. Car was severely cutting back power around 3.5-4.5k rpms, way more than just a power dip. 62,4XX miles


    The Disa didnt seem to be stuck open or anything, and the vacuum seal was fine. But cleaning it and putting in the new parts fixed the stuttering completely.


    Next? Most likely an aux unit to play my music through my iPhone.

    Thanks guys. Ill keep you guys posted whether or not this actually happens.

    I gotta say though, im going to miss my MINI ALOT. Its honestly way more fun to drive, not as fun to live with, but for spirited driving, it blows the doors off the ZHP. (its only 1,100 lbs lighter than the convertible) No disrespect to anyone.

    Plus one. No disrespect received. I had a mini cooper S loaner from BMW and it was an absolute blast to drive. While I prefer my ZHP, the mini blew the doors off wrt pure fun "racey" driving.
