I think the time has come to part with my car, I am hashing out the details and making the list of goodies so I can list it officially. Once I get it all sorted I will post it here first in case a member wants it and then it will go on ebay, nam, scmm, craigslist etc.

PLEASE PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN BUYING THIS CAR.

EDIT*** Here is a link to the ebay auction, I am looking for something in the $40K range but I am open for offers.

I know, why am I selling it? Well there are a number of reasons and the first being its just time, the second I need the money, now dont get me wrong I dont need the money bad enough to blow it out cheap or give it away but I do need the funds for other things. I actually like this car so much that I kept it a year longer than any other project car I have had and it will aactually hurt a little to let it go.

Here is a chance to have a small part of mini history, this is currently the most powerful street mini built yet, the first to break 500whp and as far as I know still the only car running around making 500+ to the ground, its ran the 1/4 in the 11 sec range and can run toe to toe with a viper on the frwy with the boost turned down ! Dont ask how I know..but I know! The registration is paid, the title is clear and its paid in full so a transaction can be done very smoothly.

On the upside I still have 2 minis in the house with one being a gp so I still get to drive a mini when I want.

Opinions and input are welcome.

I will update this thread with the actual info on the sale of the car later.

2005 Cooper s with custom turbo conversion.

The car up for sale is my personal pride and joy since the end of 2004, it has always been garaged and well cared for. It has also been driven the way it was built to be driven ( read lots of fun ! ) I really hate to part with this car but the time has come to move on. This mini has set a couple milestones for the BMW mini cooper, to date it has made the most power of any BMW mini street or race ( 513whp ) and its the fastest Mini is street trim with a 1/4 mile time in the 11's @ 127 mph!

I would say the condition of this car rated between 1 and 10 with 10 being perfect I would give it a solid 8, it is driven regularly and has a chip here and there and a mark here and there but it looks awesome, I am a very picky person and I see stuff most people dont. I would guarantee most people would give this car at least a 9 possibly a 10 but I dont want anyone to be mis lead because the car is driven, well taken care of but driven how it was meant to be!

Here is a summary of the vehicle, feel free to ask questions, but I am not looking to trade unless its just a trade nobody could pass on
