I saw the GP as I was waiting to cross the road next to Halfrauds and changed my mind and went to find the GP and get some pics of it.

And this only the second GP I have ever seen in person.

Ah the Jooglemobile has been spotted!!!!

Thought I saw someone do a double take at the lights

Plasters are an ongoing joke with my local club - every show it goes to it gets stonechipped on the way - so the first time it happened they put plasters over the marks and its become a bit of an ongoing tradition....... Its overdue to get a bonnet respray but im waiting to hear about the warranty repair for the bumper paintwork - will be getting both done at the same time

Roof numbers on the GP are on the drivers side only unless the owners added a passenger side one

lol! Yes that was me using the Crutches at the lights having a good look, I saw you coming and walked as quick as I could to the lights before you left hehe to try and spot the roof number. I changed my mind about crossing the road because I was watching where you were going and then went to take pictures of your GP and I was expecting you to come back and ask what I was doing.

Are you local to Stafford by the way, because I have never seen a GP around there?

Joogle · May 17th, 2008, 01:26 PM

Shropshire - Was just visiting the best coffee shop in Stafford on my way back from Manchester Airport

Had to laugh this morning - Hope you realise that you were spotted by someone I know and when they saw you taking photos while on the crutches they were under the impression I had run you over........

Nice One mate, was looking at that in the showroom whilst being stared at by salesmen (wtf you looking at).

I'll keep a look out for you

AprilWhine · Jun 1st, 2008, 04:33 PM

Number 0448 is listed again on Ebay, must be by the person who bought it last time. No mention of a salvage title this time!

Someone is going to get escrewed!

Scrogg · Jun 1st, 2008, 04:40 PM

Have you got a link Sherry?

AprilWhine · Jun 1st, 2008, 04:52 PM

Link:

eBay Motors: Mini : Mini Cooper S (item 150253925826 end time Jun-07-08 18:30:43 PDT)

But my mistake, it is still listed with the salvage title. He just does a much better job of covering it.

donjumpsuit · Jun 3rd, 2008, 09:48 PM

Ok,
Two orders of Business.

1st. I am the proud new owner of GP1984. I am located in Davis, CA

2nd. I was looking for a tricked out mini, and saw the salvage 0448 and fell in love with the GP. There was no way I was putting the money down for 0448 since it probably has been totaled twice. He emailed me the pictures of the second crash, which was curb rash all down the drivers side (left). On damages from this crash, he even had aftermarket rims on it then! He recently must have gotten the original rims (I am suprised they sent them to him since they knew the car was a salvage case). He is located within 25 minutes from me. If you guys needed me to get anymore information, I could dig it up for you, however I think its just a curiosity case at this point for you.

My GP was originally purchased by a Mini mechanic in San Francisco, and 11,000 miles were put on it. Resold at a mini dealer in concord to me ($32,999). Came with a warranty up to 100,000 miles and I threw the ultimate service to 100,000 on there for good measure, to me its a super deal!

Alan W · Jun 3rd, 2008, 10:08 PM

Just a heads-up that GP0221 is regrettably for sale.

Mini : Mini Cooper S JCW GP (960 Miles Only)

I hope it goes to a good home!

Alan W

AprilWhine · Jun 4th, 2008, 01:38 AM

Congrats Don, I think you got a great deal!

And welcome to MINI2!

No need to snoop on GP 0448, it's just idle curiosity. One very big deal is that it's missing the GP intercooler, it has the one from a regular MCS.

Most buyers aren't going to notice that.

AprilWhine · Jun 4th, 2008, 01:41 AM

Alan, sorry you have to sell.

You were the original owner of GP 0221, weren't you?
