Welcome to NAM! The Gen1 forums have tons of information to help you take care of your car. Always nice to see someone taking care of an older MINI!

Welcome to NAM.

Hmmm, older MINI. What is that saying that old people like Skibum say, "you are only as old as you feel???????"

Nice looking car, the black grill is a nice touch, not that I have any preferences . . . .

Lord I hope it's not true. If it is I must be at least 105. Couldn't get my caffeine IV started this morning and am having to drink the stuff. Couple more cups and I should be back into the 70's.

Why, you have stories about growing up when there were only radios and no tv's? Or are you younger like me and remember b&w TV?
