I'm brand new to this site. I've been lurking for a few days, reading posts and learning a ton of new things about Mini. The good news (for me at least) is that I'm picking up my first Mini ('11 MC) this Saturday in Chicago!

I live in Omaha, NE. If anyone lives in my neck of the woods and can offer some local advice (service, motoring, meets, etc...), please feel free to contact me.

That's good news to all of us MINI owners!
