Che Is Sadly Departed

[yellowmininy]

Come on, Bert! Time to start looking under the couch cushions for change and rolling up those spare pennies.

Hey...just call Keeler on Saturday, say you heard a 2003 BRG Cooper S just came in and see what they say. 15% reduction pulley, full S/S skid plate, Pilo intake, 22mm rear anti-sway bar, MTH remap.

Hey Bert!

I will be in NY for my Mom's birthday on 8/19 and could pick you up at the Albany Airport (near Keeler) and we both could go to yellowmininy's event on the 20th and you could drive the legendary Watkins Glen track before driving back to Michigan..... Free room and board at my Mom's.....Anyone else from NH, MA, ME going?

Anyone for Bob Dylan in Pittsfield, MA the next week?....I'm thinking of staying down to go if my school schedule permits....


Rick, pm me I am thinking of a trade too....Did they give you a good deal? Did you get an 06/07? What is your time line? I need a car by Nov. if I am trading....

Ian, are you trading or selling? :confused

I was just looking at that yesterday - very strong ratings. That is one of the key tools in E-bay, yoou work hard to keep a 100% rating.
I also looked in my atlas to see where Franklin, IN is. It's a little south of Indy, probably a five hour drive. With the price climbing I'd be better off picking up a well-maintained used one.

Whatever MINI winds up in your hands, Bert. Blessed.

I think the seller is making light of the amount of work needed. I asked a guy I work with who used to be a rally co-driver and has built (and crashed) many rally cars and he rolled his eyes about repairing a rolled car. He said that the last time he did it, they cut the entire roof off at the pillars and welded on another from a donor car. Of course, that was in a car that had a full cage and the roof was just to keep the rain off..!
If it was me, I'd keep saving for an intact used one.

that having been said (and the seller hasn't the word "rolled" anywhere in his verbose fulla-EZ verbage) the wreck formerly known and loved as che is stuck at US $5,103.00 for the last umpteen hours.

I would only be interested if i knew i could kill the cost selling off the comemoratives. which, alas, I could not - especially as some punk made off with the mc40 matts and plaque, and the jcw is short its pipes.
