For a long weekend at least …
Instant start (the Duracell battery maintainer works!) and no apparent tire flattening – but even not using the handbrake while away, her brakes are rusty and grumbling.
She still makes that amazing supercharger whine though – sorry, all you R56 owners 😉
Not a MINI, but maybe you’re getting used to non-MINI posts now; but this is a British car, a 1955 Bentley, recently brought over and worked on by Roberto at Scuderia Donati (previously Cadillac, Lamborghini, Ferrari) …
Interesting interior too … note not only the position of the steering wheel, but also the missing shifter! It’s actually to the RIGHT of the drivers seat, sandwiched between it and the door (but I missed it in this picture, sorry).
I visited MINI of Peabody today (and didn’t get lynched! they were very nice about the Audi), to check when GPMINI was last serviced … and Brig told me the new ’09 convertibles had arrived – so I took a few pictures (and turned down the offer to drive one!):
