Not sure about forever, but it is still going...
will keep as long as the budget can afford to keep it going.

I'll keep it forever, but not sure how long that will be. I'm 80 and don't know how long I have left. With over a 100k spent on it over the years and no one to give it to. I guess I'll give it to a charity of some kind.

I've posted in this discussion earlier...but @20 years young, my 04 R53 just rolled over to 100k miles!



This is huge for me.
As it being my daily driver since purchased brand new (2003), I live in constant fear that one of these days some crazy or distracted driver is going to total my beloved little car.

Although I have said it before - I do plan keeping my Mini forever.....Since I've made plans on being buried in it.
