Wow your car is like new!!!

It's in great shape, congrats! My 2005 (owned since new) has just shy of 150K miles on it and I will never sell it.

Holy shit haha. I bought a corolla xrs in July and watched all your videos on it leading up to the purchase and shortly after. Unfortunately in late August someone tboned me and totalled the thing. So I bought a 2006 mini cooper S JCW about 2 weeks ago, I'm browsing KZbin and there you are again hahaha. All the best! I look forward to your videos on our new cars!

Found your channel researching info for my Corolla XRS and now I can't stop watching for your thoughts on other interesting cars. Thanks for taking the time to make these little reviews on older attainable cars when so many others focus on only the new unaffordable stuff. Always loved these minis but heard they are money pits later in life.

You're welcome, glad you enjoy them!

I have owned two first gen mini Cooper S. An 04 and a 06. Great cars!

Thanks for the video. I have a 2005 R53 in the same colour and with chrono that I bought on a whim. You’re right about it feeling like a lab experiment. Don’t think I’ll ever sell. What suspension is yours on?

[@gray25xt]

Suspension upgrades are WMW Strut bar and plates, H&R lowering springs, Alta rear sway bar 22mm, Alta adjustable rear control arms, Koni Yellow adjustable shocks/struts.
