MINI friend Jason has owned an early build VR MC since 2002 – he has more than 110,000 miles on that car and tracks it regularly. Unfortunately he recently tracked it just a little bit too hard and it suffered, leaving it currently un-driveable.
Since it was his daily driver too, Jason urgently needed a new car and thankfully stayed in the MINI family, buying this ’07 MCS ex-demo car from MINI of Peabody:
Congratulations, Jason!

Ian,
Many thanks for coming out to visit and take us to lunch. Nancy, Jonah, and Lily also send their thanks.
I love that new yellow. Congrats to Jason from SoCal.
So Ian, have you warmed up to the R56 yet? I like it best with the aero kit, preferably the AC Schnitzer set up. Not sure I’ll buy one for quite a while but I’m getting over my initial dislike.
Oh yeah… Ian,
The kids loved the beach. We’re going to have to do another beach trip sometime when we are more prepared for it. Nancy didn’t think of that idea until we were on the way down, so we didn’t bring towels and such with us. But, they really enjoyed it.
