New Mini Owner from England

Hi, Just purchased a Nov 2002 Mini Cooper in Blue with only 38k on her. Already founds lots of useful tips on here, and looking forward to finding more. Have just fitted a Sony head unit in with hands free bluetooth. And will be trying to cure the boot squeak later today!

Hi all, and thanks for the welcome !
I'll take some pictures when the weather improves! You might like to know that I purchased our new Cooper in Wimbledon, England, and left the garage to drive home down the A3, the very same road that John Cooper used to race test his Mini's, as his workshop was in Surbiton!!!

Hi, trying to up load the pics, but there aren't any boxes to click at the bottom of my message box. Do photo uploads only work via a PC. As I can't work it out with my Iphone?

Herscher, Illinois is about 58 miles south of Plainfield. What brought you there?

Well, my surname is actually Lockwood! I saw an ad for Lockwood Chevrolet in a paper at a hotel we were in, in Chicago. We were told it wasn't far away. At the time I had a '69 El Camino so thought I'd get a dealer sticker for it. Ended up meeting the manager and left with an arm full of stuff, pens, keyfobs, stickers, & a mug !!!!

That would have been quite a drive from Chicago. Great story, though.
