2006 Mini Cooper S, 106k miles, British racing green metallic with a silver top and mirrors, two tone gray/black leatherette interior, 6 speed, sunroof, premium package, Harmon Kardon stereo, cold weather package with heated seats, tinted windows, etc. It is completely stock. This is a local Atlanta car that was ordered from Global Imports Mini/BMW. It has a clean vehicle history through both Carfax and Autocheck. It has never been wrecked or painted. It has just received the 100k service from a local European car specialist. This service includes new sparkplugs, fluid change, filter change and a general once over. The car is in excellent mechanical condition. The car has Continental runflat tires that are a little over a year old. If you look at any other Mini's, you should make sure they have runflats as they don't have a spare tire. A large percentage of owners and dealers will put non-runflats on to save money. If you have read this ad to this point you should already know that this car has the supercharged engine. This was the last year of this engine prior to the follow up car with a turbo. This car is fast with 168hp.

The flaws on this car are few but should be noted so that you get a full understanding of it's condition before driving over to take a look in person. It has 2-3 spots where the windshield has been damaged by stones. It also has stone chips in the hood that could be touched up and the normal dents, dings and scratches of a car with just over 100k miles. I did remove the factory stripe kit as it was faded. The interior is like new. It has never been smoked in. I have both keys and the original books, window sticker, factory touch up paint and tool kit. Title is in hand and the purchase will be in cash or I will accept a cashier's check from a major national bank. All funds will be verified before releasing the car.

I have priced the car fairly at $8850. I have seen base models sell for this price so you are getting a deal. I have done my research as to the value of this car, so if you want to come over and whine and negotiate please save us both a lot of time and go to a dealer that gets paid for this type of nonsense. I live in Sandy Springs and the car can be viewed at my home. If you have any questions not addressed above, just shoot me an email.

This Mini just set a very long Nurburgring lap record

Fri, Nov 4 2016

The video above is 45 minutes long. You probably won't watch the whole thing. It documents what is possibly the least visually exciting and most impressive Nurburgring record ever, with a Chinese driver keeping a Mini Cooper on two wheels for the entirety of a Nordschleife lap. That's 12.9 miles at a blistering average speed of 17 mph. The number of support vehicles seen on track, some of which pass the Mini at various points, highlights just how nonstandard this lap is. A Mercedes van trailing behind stops at one point and then catches back up shortly after. This is an endurance run more than anything. Credit of course goes to the skilled driver, who had to balance the car on its left wheels while enduring the pain of leaning at a steep angle. For 45 minutes. The car was specially prepped, with things like a welded diff and an airless left front tire (it looks like something off a fork lift) helping it steer, propel, and support the car. Bridge to Gantry's Dale Lomas was there to witness the leisurely event, and he has all of the details, including what was done to the car and what it was like to travel from viewing location to viewing location to witness the same lap. The driver, Han Yue, is an expert at manhandling Minis. He's the guy with the Guinness record for the tightest parallel-parking job (not to be confused with the tightest reverse parallel park) and also set with a driver in an M4 doing donuts around his up-on-two-wheels Cooper. We find it extremely fitting that the car for this latest record was plastered with Red Bull decals. You know, the wings?

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.
