New Owner, Old Car

I just bought a 2003 Cooper S from my friend. He bought it new with every option but navigation and was meticulous with maintenance. His wife got in an accident with it a few years ago and the engine had to be changed so I'm getting a 95k car with a 25k engine!

I do all my own maintenance so I'm sure I'll be all over this board learning the ins and outs of that.

Mostly I'm excited to have a car with air conditioning. My 1978 Toyota Hilux pickup is just too hot in the Texas sun.

Congratulations on your MINI with A/C! I can't imagine a Texas vehicle without air conditioning. And be sure to wave at fellow MINI owners...

That '5 years later' made me investigate. Dang, this is a five year old thread and still no pictures. C'mon. Without pictures, it didn't happen.

PS: Have you been waving?
