We've been a very happy two MINI family for several years now.
This is my mint 2006 John Cooper Works MCS which I'm about to advertize for sale (due to recent job loss). I realise it's poor etiquette to make your first forum posting a "for sale" pitch, but my friendly local service manger (Mark Huber at Towne MINI in Buffalo, NY) told me you are a great bunch of people and wouldn't mind.
So, if anyone is interested, please PM me here or e-mail me at gr8britwjh@yahoo.com and I can send you detailed specs and more photos. In brief, it's an '06, with only 16,258 miles on the clock and still covered under MINI's free service/warranty/roadside assistance plans. It's in absolutely mint condition, both inside and out (something Mark Huber will attest to). I'm located Upstate in Rochester (Pittsford) NY.
