2007 "S" on the way

Greetings all.
We are looking forward to the arrival of our newly acquired Cooper S which was shipped last Fri. from Houston Tx. First on the agenda is to change all the fluids and check all the somethings. I am a mechanic so it's sort of a security thing to make sure all is well before handing it over to my wife. This should be quite a step up from our 2003 Toyota Corolla. My daily driver is a 2000 Honda Civic I recently improved over the winter with a complete engine, transmission, wheels, suspension and brake swap, from a sedate commuter to a rather fun performer.
This Mini should be an adventure.

Congrats on the MINI! Try not to drive it too much or else you will end up getting hooked and drive it more than your wife

There are lots of DIYs on here and other sites so you will have no problem doing the preventative maintenance. Good luck and have fun!
