Hi all from UK
wife has just purchased a 2014 Mini Cooper Black with a Dealer added red roof and wing mirror covers in red and what turns out to be a loaded spec
Joins an all BMW stable 2013 X1 and a 2007 Z4 3.0iS Roadster
My first Mini was an early 1959 mini in 1963 followed by a couple of 998cc Coopers
First BMW was a 2002 in 1972 followed by several through the years including
an E39 280i what a car
Use the Z4 forum extensively and member there recommended you guys for
Mini chat and knowledge

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Thank you

 

Which is your favorite of the cars listed? Always wanted a 2002, but hard to find now within a reasonable budge unless you want a wreck.

 

Welcome to NAM.

What model is the 2014?

using rubbish steel and pre war manufacturing techniques
and 50 odd years gap in technology
Borrowed a 197x 1275cc Mini Cooper S to take to the Goodwood Revival
(see www.goodwood.com for understanding)
thank heavens technology has moved in the intervening years

 

Well said.
