New to NAM

Hello. My name is Todd and I am the new owner of a 2012 R55 justa I've named Phaedrus. I've wanted a MINI since I've seen the coverage of the 2000 Paris Auto Show and have always loved the original Minis.

Thanks! It has its little issues... like finding body damage repair to the third door not listed in the CarFax. While properly adjusting the door latches (water leaking between passenger glass and third door seal), I may I've noticed a missing side curtain air bag that think is supposed to be in the third door B-pillar. Doors missing off the ISO child seat latch covers only on the passenger side, realizing to replace new I'd have to buy a full set of rights and lefts at over $100, finding a used right and left at $20 each but wrong type but finding the doors will work with some modification, etc., etc.

Could go on but I plan to go into more detail in future threads... there's a reason why I named it Phaedrus. There's a zen to this

In order to make it through the Spouse Committee, it had to be an auto.
