I sold my 2005 MINI Cooper S today.  Owned it for almost 12 years.  Vaya con dios el MINI.

Had this odd factory looking badge on the back. I wasn't able to find anything on the web about a "Puddle Back" edition.

OT: Annual EPA Fuel Economy Trends Report

I've been a contributor on Daily Turismo for a few months.  I've posted a summary of the annual EPA Fuel Economy report over on DT.

MINI at 11

My 2005 MINI Cooper S is turning 11 years old this month.  I ordered it on 11/18/2004.

Here's a picture that the salesperson took of it on 1/11/2005, when it arrived at the dealer in Ohio.  Since there were no dealers on the west coast that were taking orders (or had a 9 month wait), I ordered it at a dealer in Ohio and had it shipped out to me in Seattle.  I wonder what happened to the MINI parked next to it.

Went to Ballard on Friday to see Dale Watson at the Tractor and this was in front of the restaurant we had dinner at.  Appropriate for old Ballard, but was surprised to see it in new, gentrified Ballard.
