Hello
]I purchased my new 2012 pw base at the end of October and joined the forum shortly after. I’ve been lurking around here for quite some time before I bought the car and I would like to say thanks to the members here for providing such great information, as well as entertaining reading and great images of all things Mini.

I was looking for a commuter car (have the family car and ¾ ton 4x4) and have always wanted a Mini. When I was growing up my dad had a shop out back and he restored English sports cars. Once I was old enough to drive we had a pretty sweet deal. He would find a car, I would buy it, then when he was ready for the car he would buy it from me and I was on to the next car. For the most part it was great because I got to own/drive a lot of great cars but the down side was that they always needed something, body work, torn seats, top, etc. I had more MGBs than anything but did have a few Triumphs, Sun Beams, Austin Healy’s, etc. All in all it was great fun and it has lead me to my new purchase.

Love this car so far and I hope to get many years of service out of it.
Just wanted to stop buy and say hello and thanks.

Keep the rubber side down!

 

Welcome, from someone who got windburned at today's Broncos game.

 

Great year for the Broncos!

 

One thing I forgot to mention, my dad still calls all Minis "Moris Minors".
He's 81 so he can get away with it.

 

Welcome aboard. How about some pics?
