Well I my TL days have ended. She was a great car but she
just wasn't doing for me.

05 SS/E AT
NO NAVI
APSEC Suspension & CT RSB

I know you hard cores will flame be but I got a COOPER S Black/White with
some nice bells and whistle. Automatic with paddles (very nice) I'll miss some
of the TL cush but I just couldn't get away from the go kart feel.
Ya the TL could do ramps at 60/70 but the MINI can do ramps 80/90+

I learned a lot from you guys. Some of you have done some sweet things with
your cars. Some are silly smart and then there's some with egos that are
just that. You guys have a good community here, keep it up.

PEACE

What does your boyfriend drive?

















Just kidding. Good luck with the Mini.

 

gl, but no need to run

 

wait u need an Acura to be here? OH GOD!!



on a serious note, where the f are you going? no need to leave.....

 

I'm not running. The wife drives an 02 MDX and we're really
happy with it. Most likely we'll get an 07 or 08. I'll still check
back from time to time. I love seeing what you guys do.

I'll tell you on a performance note. It wasn't about speed or
power. I'm all about the twisties there's not much stock for that
matter better then a COOPER S. And I really wanted something
different. Hell my father in law is good friends with a BMW
dealer and I could have gotten a new 3 for 20% off but
there all over the place.

Ya gotta do what makes you happy.

 

The mini has to be the best FWD car i ever driven! Nice choice!

Stay around and post pics!

 

my dad has a mini, great fun to drive

 

No need for anyone to hate or flame. Everybody should have a real fun impractical car at least once in their life. Don't go away we need other points of view imho; enjoy it and tell us how much you miss the TL.

 

I assume you've never been in a Prelude or a CRX. Either of those cars could give a Mini a run for its money.

Anyway, nice choice.

 

are you from harrisburg??

 

What a crazy turnaround, TL to mini... I wonder what you thought you were getting with a TL? It is a large car.

 

?? PA?

Never been there, sorry!

I live on the left coast, raised long ago in midwest.

 

Nope never have. I heard good things about the ITR though.

 

My dad was an old prelude enthusiast, owned like 4 of them before buy a celica in 1990. After he totalled his celica, he bought the CLS, which he gave to me and bought a MINI. I think he would have bought another prelude over the mini if they were still making them in 03.

 

i know how you feel. i, myself, just traded in my 3G TL for a B6 S4.
i still lurk this forum since it is such a great community!!
good luck with the mini!!

 

they r gonna re-design the MINI for 2007 model, right?

 

cute car.

 

You could probably fit the Mini in the TL......

 

Good luck with the Mini.

Sorry you are leaving, but it was a three month run together I will never forget.

See you in the twisties, if you can keep up with me.
