Last night we went for our first test drive in the 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible. We bought it in November and it wasn't well.

So cleaned and skimmed head
New head gasket kit.
New harmonic balancer
New fanbelt
New thermostat and housing
New resistor for fan
Lots of weekends and nights trying to fit in time for hubby to work on it. Lots of waiting for parts and stress after finding new problems.

Ran like a dream last night and I love it. I'd never actually driven in a convertible with the top down before but thank goodness I love it and it was better then expected. Now to start planning all the fun bits i'm going to buy that I was too scared to buy in case we couldn't actually get it running
