Mini’s are really good cars from a performance perspective (even for a FWD car)….But, they are a bear to maintain. It’s German afterall. There’s a reason why mini’s are really cheap preowned.

Unless you like wrenching on it yourself, I’d say get rid of it.

Get the P-car for the wife. She’s a doctor if I remember. I think you guys can afford it. If I weren’t racing it regularly, I would be in one. That said, I love my new ND Miata. And it’s about to get a whole lot more fun soon, when Edelbrock releases the CARB legal supercharger.

$25 oil changes, and onlly about $120 per tire * 4, roughly every 4 months… I haven’t looked back at something German.
