Soon the be a new owner

Well I’ve been considering getting a mini for a while now
yesterday I finally found the one I want. A 2008 clubman s. I left a deposit and now Ad I’m just waiting for the rest of the funds to get to me this week. This will be my first mini
i enjoy most anythingbthat burns gas or fuel and has wheels.
ive been an admin and mod on several scooter forums for years now. After a wreck this spring I’ve decided to head back to cars

Hi and welcome to NAM, Jmkjr72!
Very nice looking Mini Clubman S. Make sure to only use 100% synthetic oils, think about an oil catch can and make especially sure to only use high octane fuel.
Your engine model has shown to carbon up the intake system, so read on the gen 2 area, how to keep that issue from cropping up. With that said, I hope you have a great time with it and it gives you many miles of joy!

Great looking MINI welcome to the forum. The blue with silver trim looks great. Back when your MINI was new, I played with the MINI configurator and always came back to that combination.

Thanks for the welcome
yes I have a catch can in the plans for one of the first things to do
i am also going to stop by the local tuner sho to see if they offer walnut blasting
i also have to make a trip to mini of Madison to get a key and fob as it only has one. While there I hope they can check if it has the right module so I can add cruise control
