Noob post. 1st Mini thanksgiving 2010

Hey all y'allz.
So I've been a Mini fan (vintage and new) since I was 11 (1983) when I saw the Italian Job on TV.
Somehow I never had one of the classic Minis even though I've owned 51 various vintage cars/projects.
This year at Thanksgiving my 1973 BMW Bavaria sprang a leak at the windshield and proceeded to make me miserable. SO I ran out and bought a used 2006 Checkmate.

I'll be looking for general maintenance and parts info. Maybe some club type drives in SoCal or Portland, OR and general chatting with other excited Mini owners.

Thanks for having me
