New Mini owner Ohio

Became a first time Mini Clubman S owner last month. It's a 2010 Lazer blue with black roof and trim. I have wanted a Mini for so long I had to have one. I love it. I have 2800 miles on it in the first month!
Made a trip from Ohio down through the Smokies and Tail of the Dragon to Ga. and back.

We are doing the rally next month but we are going to San Francisco to Denver then home. Going to have about 8000 miles on my Mini by the end of 2 months.

That is my back patio, I was going to park it under the porch but my wife stopped me first. She says the table stays.

Bah... bolt some hinges to the table and the wall and fold it up out of the way and make space for the Mini!

Sounds like you have some great bonding time with the new Mini coming up... enjoy it!

Welcome to the forum, yes wives just don't understand how important a MINI is, oh well, build a garage, what's another 10 or 15 thousand dollars?

Thanks everyone. I will check out the links for Ohio. Can't wait until my next trip. I'm a truck driver and the last thing I want to do is drive when I get home. But that sure has changed. It takes me about 3 hours to mow my grass which I enjoy, but I just got in from 8 days away from my baby. I got half the grass cut today and couldn't stand it anymore and took a break just to go driving!!

Is this a common problem?
