Sadly I did not, with the options I wanted it just wouldn't have been a smart buy and the gas mileage isn't nearly as good as the Mini is. I actually picked up a Kia Optima in blue that has all the options I want and it was much lower in price along with 34mpg on regular gas and a 247hp turboed engine.
-
So I went ahead and sold the Jeep and picked up a new car to replace both the Jeep and the Mini. Time for the Mini to move on. Only picked it up a couple months ago and a daily driver to which it has been great already. I put some modifications on it listed below. The vehicle has ~110k miles on it which were primarily from the only previous owners driving two and from Connecticut. The vehicle was maintained at a BMW/Mini dealer the first 108k miles. I did the 110k mile oil change myself with Mobil 1. The interior is in great shape as is the exterior.
Features
Manual
OEM Navigation that has fully upgraded software and maps from 2009
Hyper Blue with Black roof and mirrors
Halogens
Sport suspension
5 spoke wheels
Sunroofs
Heated front seats
Front all weather mats
Black interior including roof
Modifications
Custom made Xenon headlights with painted black housings and hyper blue shrouds. (original halogens included)
Rear seat delete with cutouts for the seatbelt buckles. (Rear seats are also included)
35% tint on all windows except the windshield.
Painted black tailgate bar
Painted black headlight rings
M7 Strut Defenders (need to be installed)
Power steering fan guard (need to be installed)
Current asking price is $10,000 and pretty firm
I am also going to try and sell the Xenons and the price will be adjusted if that happens.
Let me know if you are interested or if anyone you know is.
Thanks!

Welcome!
I am in the midst of doing business with Mach V now and so far all pluses. I ordered wheels through them and had my tires shipped to them. They called me as soon as the tires arrived. Looks like a nice shop.

Jen and I rescued a little sister for Fergus last Friday. She is a adorable and a little spitfire. Got some training to do but she is awesome and a great addition to the family. Her name is Maddie and she is a "tiny" pitbull, full grown at around 40 lbs.
First shots when she was still hyper

I'll have to look at the records I was given but I am pretty sure its already been replaced once on mine. It may be the rear main seal as well, need to do more research.
-
LOL nice, this happens even when the car is just started up. From what I can hell I only hear it while driving, need to check it out more. Think my clutch is starting to go as well which is no bueno.
-
Sounds like its coming from the passenger side front. It happens to often and is only on a short time I would think to be the fan. Not sure where the fuel pump is located. I should look into replacing the fuel filter soon as I dont know if that has ever been done on this car.
-
So I recently noticed what sounds like an electric motor randomly running. I can hear in the passenger compartment with the air completely off and the cd player completely off. Sounds like a actuation motor or something, no idea what it could be for. Seems to be relatively random. Any ideas?
-
Great pics there. Is the one of the Dog a single shot?
Thanks and nope its 7

I'm the guy you want to talk to for 1st Gen Nav... are you coming to the Meet N Greet at MINI of Sterling on Saturday?
I wont be making that trip as I am running the Marine Corp Turkey Trot 10K that morning. :banghead:
-
Its Clyde's Willow Creek Farms says both on the sign out front. It is the one in Broadlands, a subsection of Ashburn. Also I hope you can make it out, would like some knowledge bombs dropped on me about the Gen 1 Nav.
-
Glad you all had a great day and I haven't heard anything bad so all traveled safely!

I have kept this up for 317 days at this point. Its my 365 day project where I try and take a new picture everyday. It has really taught me a lot one new techniques, from lighting to post processing and has been an experience. I'll post a few on here but feel free to check out my Flickr set or follow my Tumblr for updates. :rock:

I love seeing a well loved MINI.
What are you shooting with? We seem to mostly have Nikon shooters, but I am part of the smaller Canon contingency. I don't know why but photography types seem to love their MINIs.
DId lots with the Nikon but have converted to a Sony NEX-5N mirrorless. Same size sensor with more megapixels and better low light capability than the D90 had. Plenty of adapters to fit any lens onto it. Working great so far.
-
Some updates, black out belt line kit, smoked the side markers and tint as of this afternoon, on the way still is my custom headlights, black grill, door handle covers and painting the trunk handle cover. Still need to figure out how I want to get rid of the tail light chrome.

I got mine from Advance recently. Working good so far.
