At some point I had to realize choosing between two 20-30 year old bmw's to drive each day wasn't going to cut it, especially as I'll be in downtown Pittsburgh for school the next two years, so I decided to pick up something more sensible; a 2004 Mini Cooper S, in British Racing Green(the only real acceptable color).
Stock minus KSport coils, Alta cold air intake, extended lugs and 5mm spacers.
I bought it, tagged it, and drove it up to my girlfriends house in Pittsburgh all the same day. Absolutely loved it, super fun and still got me 35mpg on the way up!
Then while I was up there, it decided it didn't really feel like having coolant.
So it 22 degree weather I set about trying to fix it, it appeared to be the hose, but a new one would take 7 days to get to me, and I needed to head home. So I fixed it best I could.
So I got it drivable and headed the 4 1/2 hours home. It made it, was perfect the entire way!
Until I popped the hood the next morning.
So at this point I'm assuming it's the radiator, but I'm not really sure and I'm not really feeling spending $150 for that to not be it.
Anyway, have a photoshop of the wheels that are going on it in the meantime.
