I know many of you are biMini.
So on the new Minis, is there any particular year to steer clear off? I'll be looking at the first gens, so when did they switch to turbo and should I try to get intot he first turbos or stay with an older supercharger?
Thanks.
Sir Quickie, if i were you , i will get a classic mini with an A/C, automatic transmission, fuel injected , pwer windows etc, i tell you , the body of a classic mini from 1959 thru 2000 is exactly the same. the later ones like the 1995 up are also same in body dimensions. lets face it, its a lot more convinient to drive an automatic transmission car than a stick shift.. dunno why people like manual trans, in manual transmision, you are a slave of your car, while in automatic transmission , the car is your slave. you can not even pop open a coke in can while driving a manual trans. , i can do everything in auto trans, texting, dialing etc name it.

07 most likely will be a financial stretch for me so I'll look at 05 then.
Thanks.
