A sad goodbye

Well after 3 years of owning my R56 Cooper S I’ll be saying good bye to it. It was such a beautiful car. Stunning interior and for a few months in between the numerous issues. It drove beautifully. I’ve spent close to £3,500 on repairs and replacement parts. Valves, turbo oil pump etc but now it’s in need of an engine rebuild. On the good side the finance has also ended so time to weigh it in somewhere. Fell in love with it at first glance but now it’s parked up waiting to be towed away. Oh well. Lesson learned I guess
