3 day old Mini owner

Hello,

I finally bought a MC40 after wanting one for years. As a child I remember riding in my cousins Mini, doing donuts on our cul de sac. I hope to be able to enjoy this one as much as he did his back in the 80's.

I am quickly trying to learn as much about the MC40 JCW cars as possible. Please be patient with me as a navigate the NAM site and I get my bearings.

Also, if anyone knows a good reliable mechanic in Southwest Riverside County, CA, please feel free to share.

Thanks

I have only been a Mini owner for 3 days. Sorry it was misleading.

And I was trying to figure out how he got the Mini from Oxford to California in 3 days

Welcome to the MINIacs!

Make your way over to the MC40 Owners' Group and say "HI!" there as well.

Motor on!

I knew that was impossible so I figured he'd bought one for his new born; I'd have held off buying until the infant was a bit older.
