Goodbye R53, hello F56
It's been quite a long time since I've visited NAM, nice to be back.


Because of an onboard diagnostic computer failure on my '04 Cooper S it would no longer pass NJ inspection.


Rather than fuss with a very expensive repair, we opted to trade it in and just took delivery on a nice red/black '14 Cooper S.


Nice improvements!


Now to research all the little tips about this very new model...


Looking forward to catching up with some long list MINI friends.

Welcome back!

I've gone R53 (Works S) to R56 (Justa) and am now awaiting a F56 with the triple.

Still hooked on these silly little go karts...

Cheers,

Charlie
