Back in a fun-to-drive car again soon! I'll be buying my daughter's 07 Mini Cooper S in the next month; Looking forward to driving something fun again! Looked at Mini's for years, drooled on hers.... the day is nearly here.

Been a car guy forever-- 73 MGB-GT new/ first car; 75 Alfa Spyder; (then in Germany) 86 BMW 535w/ a mix of M5 suspension parts; 68 Mustang '96-99 when back in the states.

It's Smiling-Driving time again!

Welcome aboard! This is a great place to learn about the MINI.

 

I owned one MGB and two MG Midgets during the 1970's. My favorite cars ever! I purchased my '14 Roadster S largely because the appearance and driving experience reminded me so much of my British Leyland beauties.

 

As it happens, the daughter selling me the Mini (actually her husband) has the orange '72 MGB that has been in my wife's family since... well, '72... . They had the Mini before they had the B...
small world (would that be a triple entendre or something like that?

 

Have fun with the MINI!
