Hello, everyone. I bought my mini 3 weeks ago or so. It's a 2006 Mini Cooper S cabrio. British Racing green with white stripes on the 'bonnet'. Top is black. The car is bone stock this far. The previous owner loved the car and always used the dealer (2 hrs away in Memphis) for service. I guess she never had the notion to do any mods. Poor car had the misfortune of falling into my mischeivous hands. I'm just reading and learning so far. Looks like lots of valuable Mini info here. I already purchased my Bentley manual, and have my Snap-Ons itching to tear into this unit. Looks like the mechanical mods should not pose a problem (excluding my wallet). I think finding someone to do the tune after the fact may be the biggest challenge. Anyway, howdy, y'all!
