Have you considered joining a couple of the local car club forums/discussion boards? Your best bet might be the boards at http://www.bmwpugetsound.com/ or you could join the boards at http://www.psmini.org. Both sites have a for sale section. We have a lot of BMW lovers in PSMINI, and joining might be a good thing to do since you have such a pretty little car. Joining PSMINI is free, but you can also pay a membership fee and take advantages of things like discounts on repairs and parts, reduced entrance fee at our car show (coming up soon!) and coverage by our insurance at club events. If any other MINI owners are reading this (like you with the beautiful Silk Green and White Cooper) I encourage you to join PSMINI. From Plain Jane daily drivers (like mine) to high performance “S” type racing machines, all are welcome.
