Not visited here on my travels round lfgss but have been enjoying having a read. Piqued my interest as I’ve recently sold a VW T4 camper as we haven’t been using it this year, plus ULEZ, and the fact we now need to be ferrying kids to different places over the weekend. Task was a cheap fun car for my enjoyment and for taking my son to footy training/matches. I never really paid much attention to the newer mini but always liked the look of the early ones, ad that to some nostalgia for my first car (‘79 mini, 10 inch revolution alloys, rosewood dash!) and I was away. Bit of an impulse buy going for the first one I saw but it had obviously been well looked after, had a few nice upgrades/new parts inc an all important supercharger rebuild recently. Also only about 1/3 of what we got for the T4. It’s been about 6 weeks and it’s great fun to drive, nippy around town but feels surprisingly planted and stable on the motorway and ofc the handling is great. Anyway, thought I’d say hi in here as I saw there was a couple of people asking about R53’s a few pages back. Any others on here with one?
