Hey Jim, did anything ever unfold with the austin mini you were looking at? I also sent you an email a few days back with a forwarded email from another mini in your area. I forgot to mention he was including a japan AC unit. Ya know those things come without AC and the units cost $$, i've seen them as high as 3k!!

Yes - I got your e-mail. I have not looked at it tonight possibly.



I am going to pass on that one. Its price with shipping is getting to $8K and I can find a really really sweet one here that is done up real sporty for that price.



I will look at the one you sent me. A/C would be nice in Florida.

He's asking 11.5k for this one, but its in much nicer condition than the red one. Being SPI and not to mention the AC unit makes it a sweet deal. I think it even had a sunroof.

I think wid modification the 8 is a more well-rounded car...and you could get more out of it. I would think the mini cooper would cost alot to modify....and you get the benefit of RWD with the 8.
