    Hello all! I've had an r56 Mini for the last few years affectionately referred to as my "beater" car as it was a base model, gutless, and I got it simply because it was affordable, great on gas, and used primarily for my long commute. It was a 2007. I didn't care if it got dinged, scratched, whatever, it was my beater so I could leave my brand new pretty pickup sitting in the driveway. Until yesterday.
