  • Mini Cooper/BMW techs on here?

    Step daughter wants one for her first car. Worth a shit? Years to stay away from or look for?

    They look like a fun car to zoom around in till she's able to drive. I looked at a 2007 S yesterday, smoking clean inside and out but... Made Indian smoke signals out of the oil filler cap like no other. Damn near blew the cap out of my hand. Lol

    Any info on these go karts will be helpful.

    Parts are expensive, like any other German car.
    1971 Ford Torino - Time to go bigger and better.

    2011 F150 Limited - Stock with a 6.2

      If it's not new and/or under warranty, I'd stay away. I had an '03 Cooper S, and it was a blast, but they have a horrible reliability rating.

                  I wont touch them with a 10 foot pole at auction. They are known to have terrible reliability. Sat in an 07 S last week, battery was nearly dead, and every time you tried to start it, the drivers window would lower about an inch

                        After seeing what my buddy went through with one, HELL no. Clutch is beyond the skills and means of your average shade tree and parts and labor he was quoted about $4000. Later blew a head gasket. He managed to get it changed and found it required a special tool to time the whole thing. He didn't. He started it. It wasn't. Bent valves later he traded it in and bought another. <SMH> He is a glutton for punishment.

                          I love German car styling, but I won't buy one unless I buy new and turn it in every three years.
