I designed this car online and took excellent care of it ever since it was delivered in 2005.  It has low mileage and most of the miles are highway miles as this car has been all over the place.  It is super clean and runs like a dream.  On Friday, May 31, I took it into Passport MINI of Alexandria to have it checked out for sale and our tech said that there were only 4 things that needed to be done besides the regular oil change.  He also said the car was in excellent condition!!

($1785)The items that were fixed: 

the front brakes and rotors were replaced

the right front inner and outer tie rods were replaced

because the tie rods were replaced - the car was aligned

and finally - the oil pan gasket was replaced.  This car is now like new! 

This car is amazingly fun and zippy.  It also has a supercharger, so there is no turbo-lag.  This version came out before the S was available with automatic transmission and there were no MINIs with turbos, yet.  The original jack and owner's manual are still here as well as the original  dealer sticker.  I added some things like the hidden jumper cables.  The battery is in the back, so I have actually been able to jump cars on the highway before.  The original battery did die last summer because the poor car was in the garage for too long, but it has a sparkly new one now and we've driven around as much as possible.  I have a AUX converter in the bottom of the console with a male male mini RCA, so anything with a headphone jack can be plugged in and played through the speakers.  It's pretty useful to listen to music or plug your phone in with a slight echo on the other person's end.  I also had a rear-facing convertible car seat behind the passenger seat up until last Thursday when we decided it was time to get a 4-door with more trunk space.  I LOOVE my MINI.  I was debating selling it, but I don't get to drive it as much as I'd like now.  I hope there is someone out there who will enjoy it at least as much as I have.  This car is wonderful and has no issues besides a tiny ping in the windshield that happened while coming up 395 to get to the dealership and a small indention where a nut fell from a tree in the fall of 2010 and caught me coming down a curvy road in WV.  I tried to take a picture of it, but it is so small, you can barely see it.  It is shown in the last photo.

I've included pictures of everything I could think of, but if you need more information or have questions, let me know.   Thank you for checking out this awesome car!  Have a great day :)

Production Mini Rocketman still in the cards, but not without a partner

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

There's not really any way around it - the new Mini Hardtop isn't all that mini. Considering its supposed to be the smallest model in the brand's lineup, this is hardly desirable. It's good news, then, that rumors are cropping up of a smaller Mini, based on the well-received Rocketman Concept that debuted in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.
The report, which comes from our friends at AutoGuide, claims that a production Rocketman is still on the radar of Mini's product chief, Pat McKenna, despite being officially on hold. As Mckenna explained it to AG, "the only way it would happen would be if it was a partnership with another company."
See, the problem is that Mini's current UKL platform, which underpins the new Hardtop along with the future Mini range, is too large for the tiny Rocketman. And since developing new platforms isn't as easy as popping down to the shops for a gallon of milk (nor as cheap), it makes the need for an ally to split the costs a necessity. Success, so far, has been limited.

Recharge Wrap-up: Audi R18 e-tron Quattro wins WEC opener, Toyota Mirai goes to DC

Tue, Apr 14 2015

The Audi R18 e-tron Quattro has won the World Endurance Championship season opener at Silverstone. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer piloted the number 7 hybrid racecar to a hard-fought win in the six-hour UK race. "This victory is a dream start of the season and a great reward for the whole squad for the hard work last winter," says Audi Motorsport boss Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, congratulating the team. Audi's second R18 took fifth place in the race after a couple of unscheduled pit stops ate up precious time. Read more in the press release from Audi, below. Mini and Spanish designer Jaime Hayon are presenting new versions of the Mini Citysurfer electric scooter concept at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy. The installation, called "Urban Perspectives" depicts an idea of the future of urban mobility. The imaginary living space houses two examples of the Citysurfer concept designed by Hayon. The first is painted to resemble blue and while porcelain, with dots and stripes to give it an upbeat look. The second uses more upscale materials like anodized metal, copper and leather to blend modern and classical elements. The foldable Citysurfer scooter can travel 10 to 15 miles on a charge, and is designed fit and charge inside the trunk of a Mini Cooper. Read more from Mini. Tesla has announced the locations of its first Superchargers in Australia. It will install eight charging booths at the Goulburn Visitor's Centre, about 120 miles southwest of Sydney. The Goulburn superchargers will be powered by renewable energy. Tesla plans to install a network of Superchargers in cities along the route connecting the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane south to Melbourne. Read more at Clean Technica. The Toyota Mirai will be on display at the National Mall in Washington DC to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Earth Day. Toyota is a sponsor of Global Citizen 2015 Earth Day from April 17 to 19, which will include speakers, musical performances and, of course, Toyota's new hydrogen fuel cell car. "Earth Day 2015 is a great platform to educate the public about hydrogen fuel cell technology and the potential of hydrogen as a future fuel," says Toyota's Bob Carter. Also in April, Toyota will continue to enlighten the public about the Mirai and hydrogen technology in Union Square Park in New York on April 19, and at Waterkeeper Alliance's "Keep it Clean" comedy event in Los Angeles on April 22.

BMW looking to save billions with cost cuts

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

BMW is planning a fairly extensive overhaul in a bid to recoup some its annual costs, with CEO Norbert Reithofer (pictured above) aiming to save three to four billion euro ($4 to $5.4 billion) per year to help keep the company's profit margins between eight and 10 percent, while also maintaining investments in production expansion and new tech. BMW's profit margins sat at 9.4 percent in 2013.
According to Automotive News Europe, Reithofer is none too pleased about costs at Mini and on the 1 Series, although neither AN nor its source story, from Germany's Manager Magazin, elaborate on what steps could be taken to improve losses on either project. That makes it hard to figure out just where the fat will be trimmed from.
What may happen, though, is that BMW attempts to trim 100 million euros ($135 million) from its German labor costs each year; a solution hinted at a few weeks ago by Germany newspaper Muenchner Merkur. While a dramatic cost reduction, 100 million euros still doesn't begin to even approach the savings envisioned by Reithofer.
