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 :)

Upcoming Mini 5-door hatch spied in the snow
Mon, 17 Feb 2014We are about to get a flood of new Mini models now that the new 2014 model is officially out. In just the past few months, we've seen spy shots of the next-generation John Cooper Works and so-called Traveler crossover, and here we have the upcoming five-door hatchback in Cooper S form, a model that, like the Traveler, is expected to effectively obviate the need for the slow-selling Clubman.
Mini is not exactly hiding that this is a new five-door model, even with its camouflage - the rear door line and handle are clear as day. Also, compared to the three-door Cooper Hardtop, there appears to be an added pillar and additional length at the rear. The hatch also appears to be mounted at a steeper angle than the standard Mini. Also, you have to admit that the Mickey-Mouse-ear fog lights are cute, even if Mini would never actually sell it that way.
Expect to see even more variants soon, if BMW and Mini want to reach their goal of selling over a million front-wheel drive vehicles - an earlier report indicated there could be as many as 23 front-wheel drive cars from the brands in the coming years.
2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop officially revealed
Mon, 18 Nov 2013There are occasions in life when something happens in the outside world and I think, "Damn. I wish Dad was here so we could talk about this."
In the past 13 years, that's happened every time Mini unveils a new model. And that's been quite often in the 12 years since the car was reintroduced - it has expanded to include seven different models, which is a testament to how quickly the updated Mini caught on. My Dad, who passed away in 1996, loved the brand. His first car was a Mini, and he'd race it in illegal rallies around the Irish countryside in his 20s, before he emigrated to the US and tried to (mostly) stay on the right side of the law.
Mini released photos and specs for the third-generation "original" hardtop car today. The company had to slap in the term "original" in there to differentiate it from the Convertible, longer-wheelbase Clubman, Countryman crossover, Paceman three-door crossover, Coupe and Roadster. Coming out with that many nameplates in 13 years is unprecedented growth for a company that's essentially brand-new in the US.
Mini shows how to camp in style
Sun, 21 Jul 2013If you're the type of person who loves spontaneous road trips and camping, and Volkswagen's Camper Vans aren't your style (or you can't find one for sale in the US), then Mini has what you're looking for: the Clubvan Camper, Cowley caravan or Countryman ALL4 Camp. Unfortunately, Mini says there are no plans to offer any of them for sale. And no, this doesn't seem to be a recycled April fools joke, in which Mini touted the Swindon Roof Top Tent and Cowley.
Let's start with the Clubvan camper, a curious prototype that has a sleeping area for one and an extendable kitchenette featuring a stove and chest fridge. And we say curious because, in addition to not being offered for sale anywhere at this point, the Camper is based on the Clubvan, which was just pulled from US dealerships due to low sales volume. This thing definitely isn't coming to the US.
The Cowley caravan, named after Mini's historic factory in England (known today as Plant Oxford), can be towed behind a Mini vehicle and features a sleeping area for two, a twin-burner gas stove and a water tank complete with pump and sink facility. It looks quite comfortable in there. The Cowley uses a solar panel to charge its onboard battery, and it has a 230-volt connection to power the fridge and entertainment equipment.
