Indeed it is John!
We got another car as a beater car so we don't have to rely on the M for a DD. Kristen's BMW dealer is right next to Mini and they gat a 2007 mini that they were going to send to auction.
A original owner with around 130k on the clock. We snagged it for $1500 + $500 employee sale. It had a check engine light for the vacuum pump which was leaking so we got that fixed and got the car detailed. Not the first choice in color but we couldn't beat the price. The only negative is that it's an auto but Kristen loves it and it's in really good shape. She's getting the headlight covers done today. I gotta admit, I really like this little car!

Nice deal!
I’ve always liked the R53 and R56.
Fun little car. Nice pick up.
Congrats on the Mini. Wow … $2,000 for a 2007. I used to have a green 2005 Mini. I asked the price to wrap it, it was around $400 to $600 IIRC.
Wow, great price. Those are fub to drive too.

Amazing price congrats! R56 is my favorite generation. F56 has not won me over at all.

congrats rob, those are super fun - even the non-S! that was a steal - nice work!
i have a friend selling a 2008 cooper S 'vert, 6MT - i really want to buy it, but i don't need it.... would be mega fun though!
Thanks fellas!
yea we really didn't need it either but we can always sell it for a profit later if we have to.
Got the headlight covers done.... car looks really good now. I can't believe how well it has cleaned up.

Replaced the VANOS solenoids yesterday. Really easy to do on this car.
Then a quick detail in the engine bay using my favorite magic spray: Pro Prep
