[scarabY2k]

LN????? Is that you???? I'm so happy to see you here, I could cry

Mighty fine seeing you here again chicka!

Now don't be a stranger kiddo- you've been missed

All is good with Val and I. Still sitting around the house staring at one another

Cup is doing great! 10 years of ownership and 153,500 miles on the clock and she's hanging in there. She can be a brat at times, but what can you say for a 10 year old car!

Lots of miles, years and tons of fun- Cup's been good to me

I'm still here holding down the org- probably be here when they cut the lights off of this place

YAY, its Ellen! I miss the crap out of my MINI. The BEST car I've ever owned, hands down!

<3 <3 <3 How've ya been? What are you driving now?
I've been gone for a while, tell me why you sold it? I'm thinking of selling mine. Kinda looking at a Kia Soul.... I don't want anyone else's problems. I need tires AGAIN! I have 2 bent rims thanks to the frickin low profile 17's Looking either to get new wheels & tires or new car

Maldives blue BMW Z4 (different one than I had before), 2005 C230 supercharged sedan, and last Fall I bought back my first car ever: 1976 Volkswagen Baja bug. I'm selling the BMW & the Benz and getting something more practical and responsible. I plan on moving to Nashville, TN in a couple of months.

I've been gone for a while, tell me why you sold it?

I wrecked it a TINY bit last January. I slid into a concrete curb and screwed up the rim and alignment. A week later and OLD guy at a gas station asked me if I'd sell it and I threw out a number that was around $4,500 more than I gave for it and he took down my number and brought me a bank check two days later. He's well in his 70s and he uses it as his daily driver and tracks it. I miss the crap out of that car! I'd LOVE a clubman S or a JCW Clubman.

I hope you've ditched the runflats by now. They ride like poo.

I like the Kia Soul- pretty cool looking and practical.

Whatever you get, you're still an orger sweetie

Time to get you a 2012 beetle dear

[Lnzbug]

Took a few pics today

[Severecaraddict]

Any prospects in selling the MINI? I'd give ANYTHING for another JCW! I'm eying a '10 JCW, but I know I don't need it. I just picked up a '08 VR6 Passat and my C230 Kompressor sells tomorrow.

I've got an 05 Cooper in the UK that's waiting to be sold too, that'll fund my next NB I think

No luck. I just posted in Autotrader today. Hopefully I'll get it sold. Not that I really want to...

[Severecaraddict]

Try Craigslist as well (if you haven't already). The used car market is HOT right now. I just sold my Mercedes last Friday at a dealer auction & it brought more than I could have gotten on my own.

I've posted it a few times on craigslist and no serious replies I was in an accident and I'm not original owner. I think I'm jinxed or the car is

That DOES hurt resale value somewhat. Just make sure you're asking price (NO clue what KBB is) fairly reflects the history.

I've decided to keep it got new tires on him and in the winter when it snows I'll just use Dad's Vue.

[Charbaraba]

Love the color of the Mini!

Wise decision! I watch Ebay like a hawk eying another MINI. If anything ever happens to my Passat...
