Well, it's actually my wife's car 
But it is a LOT of fun to drive. Just put about 400 miles on it on a trip this past weekend. Even got in a little bit of mountain road driving.
Trouble is it just refused to start while my wife was taking her mother to the doctor and we had to have it towed home. I've submitted a thread to the "Stock Problems/Issues" forum with details.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Problems can crop up with any car. Mini is very precision, so keeping it in perfect working condition is a must.
Make sure to use full synthetic oils, keep tire pressures correct, buy an OBD2 scanner, to quickly diagnose problems (Like Blue Driver, for i-phone, or android).
Come here often, so you can learn to enjoy your Minis (I say plural, as it happens so often! ;>)
Most importantly... post up so pics!
