I'm Baaaack!!!!

It has been a long time coming, over 8 years to be exact, but I'm back in the MINI scene!!! I'm excited to have just purchased a 2004 BRG R53. I use to own one of the only true 04 Zeemax MINIs and loved her till I lost her. (A woman got in the way). I now have A wonderful wife who supports my love for these little cuties and after a few weeks of discussion with the previous owner, I went today and picked up my new MINI ! I'll give pictures and details when the rain goes away.

I like "rat on acid" better than "cutie".

Welcome back.

How do you like the digital gauges - do they get in the way of your view? What gauges are they and what is the part holding them up?

Have you noticed a performance difference with the M7 intercooler? Is it water cooled?
