Mini Noob: Ann Arbor, MI

Hi All,
Experienced enthusiast and -finally- bought my first Mini. I'm really happy with it so far and looking forward to upgrading to an S or JCW someday.
Pre-July 2006 Mini Cooper
Pepper white
80k miles
5 speed
In search of a good set of used summer wheels and tires! It came on snows.

thank you!

It's in decent shape. There's tar, sap and some scratches all over it which the lighting does a good job of hiding. The rear has some rust, but other than that it's good $3k car.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Congrats on your Mini purchase!
The disease works fast. Many say I only need one, but when you come in and say you want another, it shows you have it bad!
Looking forward to seeing your new to you MCS!

Nice! I spent close to 3k on an r50 with almost double the miles! But, it's perfect to me and worth every penny. Very clean ride! I love seeing pristine R50's!

Welcome to NAM.

The Justa is a great car, and don't let anybody tell you it cannot handle the twisties. With the lighter weight, and a good driver, it is a match for most Gen1 S's.

You can get stripes off of flea bay which would look great on that hood!
