After wanting a Mini for years ... just retired and now have the time to enjoy one. I bit the bullet and bought one last saturday. A little white on silver 4 door Countryman All4, and thank God ... back into a manual again. Still walking blind since I found out there is no factory service manual for one at the dealer, but will swin threw it.

Happen to find this site the other day and thought I'd jump in and hoping you can help an old man when the questions start.

 

Welcome to NAM.

There are no "old" men that drive a MINI, only "experienced" men. Using that terms means we don't have to talk our hair (or lack of), belt line, crowsfeet, inability to get out of the car after a prolonged drive or the fact that we forgot what we did 2 hours ago.

 

Welcome.


Lots of information and DYI here, look around share some stories, throw up some Photos.


Motor On!

 

Hi and welcome to the NAM family.
We see you are looking younger already!
Now, how about posting a few pics of your new ride!

 

My wife likes to nickname our vehicles. I'm proud to say this car is now called:

D.B.

(as in D.B. Cooper .. for all of you that remember the plane robbery and the decades long FBI chase.)


Oh, and since were still getting all day rains from that Harvey hurricane, I'll get a picture later .. when it's not raining this much.

 

Wife planning to rob a few banks and disappear with the car?

We could use the rain, the PNW is an ashy smokey mess at the moment in Portland.

Welcome

 

She better give me my cut before she heads out of town
