    Well, I have no update on this vehicle. I will not be involved in the sale. If anyone on beyond is a serious buyer, or just wants to pretend to be one, PM me your contact info and I'll pass it along.

    I spoke to the owner this morning and he seems very nice. This sounds like a really good car to have for anyone looking for a GP2. I told him I’d poke around and see if I also could find an interested buyer locally.

    What kind of $$ is he looking for?

    We did not discuss a firm price but I would ballpark in the lowish 20s.

    I think $20k is reasonable. Hope he finds a unicorn buyer and gets more.

    It raised a fair amount of interest in the local Mini Facebook page, hopefully can find him a good buyer.

    I think he will, had three very interested parties message me right away for contact info at a rough asking price.

    Thought I'd bring some closure to this thread. This sold for a nice price. And he's already purchased a new Countryman All 4 JCW which is apparently fast as well (301 HP, 334 ft lbs and 0-100 in 4.9 seconds), although a lot larger. He's shrinking his fleet, so this replaces an MDX in his garage as well as the Mini GP.

    It’s true. I did some home Renos today, my basement now includes our Main floor family room.

    Sunken family rooms used to be a thing, just think, you're a trend setter again all due to ExtraSlow.

    Ha! True, that was a big thing.
