2003 Black, known as Black Betty, $20,000.00. Hope to be at Maggie Valley with her for one last run. I have the title, paid for. Custom paint, carpeted bed, custom hard saddle bags. Been taken very good care of. Good show car. Red light up widsupressr. You can not imagine the emotions this car evokes. It deeply saddens me to part with it.
Thanks you guys. You know what this thing has meant to me the last five years, but realistically, I won't be able to afford to keep it up. The biggest hurdle is what to replace it with? It will take at least two vehicles and I doubt I can do that. It's all about customer service for me and I have had very little of that over the last five years with this vehicle. There just don't seem to be any competent mechanics in my area that can fix this baby.
The mini clubman is exactly big enough to put a 3' X 4' painting in the back and the S version is a solid pocket rocket! The best part is when the warranty wears out, they still give you a loaner whenever you drop off the vehicle, no charge. After Maggie Valley our garage may just be converted into Obie's Italian Job with our mini and maxi.
I'm really sorry to see that you've decided to let her go. I know you are going to miss her. I know what I was like when Jewel was totalled and thought for a day that I wasn't going to be able to replace her with another. I was thoroughly heartbroken. I sure do hope you change your mind, but if not, good luck on the sale and with whatever you choose to replace her with.

2009 International SSR Rally
June 22, 2009 thru June 26, 2009
Kerrville, Texas
If I don't sell my SSR before going to Maggie Valley, I will have the title with me when I get there if anyone is interested. I just drove the mini clubman turbo fully loaded and it will accomodate my paintings, gets 38mpg, and takes off like a rocket! Laser blue, white stripes, chromed out, etc. SSR it ain't, but I have to adjust my lifestyle accordingly these days and I can't accomodate the expense of the SSR and the amount of gas it uses. I hate to go with "Practicality", but unfortunately my selfish passion for power has to be reigned in. Someone is going to be getting a very nice SSR! I will still be on this site and treasure all of my great friends here for sure! YOu guys&gals are awesome.
My SSR: '05 Concept Truck, powered by Heavy Duty rubberbands, and a really BIG WINDUP KEY!
a. I am very sorry to hear you are going to sell your SSR.
.....a -1. does the skeleton go with it?
b. Just because youa re thinking about selling it, does not let you off the hook for coming to the texas rally in 2009.
......b -1. does the skeleton come with it?
Focks: The boney maroney will be in Maggie Valley and she is all yours buddy! Can't wait to hear that absurdly loud horn of yours again and party with all the fanatics too! Will be bringing gifts for everyone and you won't be seeing me disappear just because I won't have an SSR!!! I love life and love to have fun, that won't ever change!

Unfortunately I will not be making the Maggie Valley Run, this year, but it sounds (no pun intended) like there will be plenty of folks there to bug the living crap out of you about not selling your SSR. I just wish I could have been one of them.
My SSR: Black, '03, 1sb, #1256, License Plate was WOW FCTR

Ok...if I bring the cash, how are you getting home?
And before you try to get smart back at me....I'm bringing my mom, so she could drive it back
John: I will bring the title. Just put the deposit on my new Mini Clubman S and I got to tell ya, that little bugger flies!!!!!!!!! Salesman was not a bit worried because he does autocross as well. The sport suspension is fantastic as well as the other little goodies. I was a tad worried when they tried to get the key out of my SSR and asked if there was a trick to it? I thought, OMG, not again! Black Betty is safe and sound right now. I thought that after being at Maggie Valley a few days I would be so high on those Margaritas Furkay is making that I could just fly home on the fumes!
