hey guys
long story short, i just bought my first mini. never been a MINI fan but when deal like this fall into your hand you just go w it. the story is this mini was originally bought from a very close friend of mine (who has multiple sports car) and basically sat in his garage for 5 years un-used. now he dumped this MINI on me for very very very cheap and i cant be more happy.

the car is a 2003 JCW, the only work that is been done is rear roll bar and a bigger radiator for the intercooler. i will use this car for the weekends and to hit Vallelunga (racetrack near my town) also i spent last 10 years of my life doing simracing so sooner or leter i will bring this baby to Nurburgring as well.

got the car on a bridge and the under is mint, no rust, no damage nothing. my mech is checking the engine right now and as soon as it get back into my yard i will start doing some minor body repairs (some of the plastics and trims are to fix or sub)

also when i told my father who lives in front of my house (another car guy like me) he was sceptical like "it will cost a fortune to maintein, fix, prepare" in the last 10/15 years both me and him only bought japanese car because how easy and chep they are to fix and enjoy. still he had couple of Cooper S and a very cool Mini Traver back in his days (late 70's early 80's)

now i find him just standing in front of the parked car like "when this mf wake up so we can work on this car together" he can't f wait ahah.

sorry if is a bit of a pointless post, just wanted to share how excited i am to put this baby back on the road. i'm already in love w this litte black gem
