Well, the MINI is gone. After reaching the 23 thousand mile mark this week, we traded her in for a Mercedes C230.
Thanks for a great time with a great car, hope to see you all on the track sometime soon.
G Stock, here I come!

Its like death isn't it?

I guess we can't retain everyone? A C230??

wouldn't a BMW 330Ci of been a better choice?

Have fun in your new C230.

The MINI had twenty-three thousand miles on it and I was pretty much done with it anyways. Don't get me wrong; I loved every minute of it. It was simply time for a change (I do that often).

I'd love to be in the position to change cars that frequently, just for a change.

C'mon guys, the MINI is great, but it's not the be all and end all of cars, now is it? (Oldnell ducks)

Cool terapin. best of luck with the new MB.

Awww...that is so sad. Good luck with the Mercedes?

Did you get a C "Klasse" coupe or a regular C230 sedan?

I personally can't warm up to the cheap look of the C Klasse coupe and the C230 kinda run of the mill. prefer the 3 series or Audi A4's by a greater margin.

My friend has a C230's and its nice, only thing I can't get used to is the fact that the car has to think about accelerating when you push the accelerator, and it felt like you weren't going anywhere...then a couple of seconds later it kicks in..really odd.

The automatic that we test drove was like that, which is why we opted for the 6 speed.
