      For sale is a metallic green 2002 Mini Cooper with beige heated leather seats in excellent shape.  The car has cruise control, great AC, and tinted windows.  It comes with the original window sticker and owner's manual.  It has a clean carfax and has had frequent oil changes using only Mobil 1 synthetic oil.  No accidents plus it has original paint and gets great gas mileage. 

      In the past two years the car has gotten:

• Koni adjustable shocks

• New H&R springs

• Adjustable rear camber links

• Hotchkiss rear sway bar  

      Along with the thousands of dollars in suspension improvements the car has also received in the last two years:

• New radiator and thermostat

• New Bosch battery

• New front and rear brakes (pads and rotors)

• New Hankook tires (at 66,000 miles)

• New wiper blades front and rear

     The car drives and shifts gears very well but the transmission has gotten a little noisier in the last few months. My mechanic said it was probably due to wear of the input shaft bearing and eventually would need to be replaced.  I changed the gear oil to Redline synthetic and the car remains very drivable as is (the clutch is fine). Also the driver's side electric mirror doesn't work that well (the glass has a limited range of motion) and the car has a couple of dings and dents but they are hard to photograph (I think a paintless dent removal guy could remove them quite easily).  None of these issues detract from the way the Mini performs and never bothered me but I wanted to disclose everything I know about the car.

     My wife and I recently inherited another car and we don't need three so the Mini goes because it's the least used.  It's a great looking vehicle and is such a blast to drive because it handles so amazingly well!  Please ask any questions before bidding.

     Thanks!

Mini apologizes with chocolate rose after spamming customer's inbox

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

If you're a manufacturer, there are only so many ways you can say "sorry" after your automated e-mail system goes berzerk and spams everyone on your mailing list with hundreds of the same message. Mini recently found itself in that very spot, and rather than respond with a sheepish mea culpa, the company's PR team took a different tack by sending owners a very unique gift box. How unique? Inside, one owner found a set of chocolate roses, a roll of duct tape and a genuine can of Spam.
In an accompanying note, the company said it hoped the sweets would help patch things up between the company and the victims of the e-mail barrage, but in the event that wasn't enough to do the trick, the duct tape was there to help out. And the can of Spam? That tagged along just for stress release. Apparently the canned meat is squeezable. We wouldn't know. You can check out full photos of the gift box here.

Mini finally lands its full blackflip

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

French stuntman Guerlain Chicherit hit the ski slopes of Tignes, France over the weekend - not to enjoy the fresh snow but to perform the first-ever unassisted backlip in a car, which was teased last month.
The unassisted part of the stunt comes from the fact that he Chicherit, in a special rally-prepped Mini Countryman, uses a regular, solid ramp rather than any specially modified ramps that have been used in the past to pull off this stunt. Unfortunately, after 18 months of practice, you'd think the video would be more entertaining by showing more closeups or better angles of the stunt.
Either way, you can check out Chicherit and his Countryman nail the back flip in the video posted below, and Mini has provided a press release and some high-res shots for the stunt as well.
