new mini member and owner

hello...from vancouver, B.C...thought i would join the community for mini collectors. i'm hoping to ask a lot of questions as this will be my new pride and joy to race around in.

my mini: 1968 cooper auto
originally red, but previous owner painted this purple which is actually growing on me, but needs a bit of TLC and a paint around the doors inside.


cheers, jeff

Love it, Jeff! Don't see many like that -- you've got a beauty.

Just traded in my '03 PW/PW MC after 16 years and only 55,700 miles
for a '19 MG/MG with chrome driving lights and chrome side mirrors.
Loved my first one so much I knew that I would only be satisfied with
another Mini.

I work from home and generally fly for trips so my driving is around
town which helps explain my low mileage on my '03 Mini. It's already
listed on the Mini dealer's site as a 'rare find' due to the condition and the
low mileage.

Loving my new MG MC! Maybe I'll have this one for 16 years, too.
I have to admit I was tempted to go another 4 years on my '03 just
to be able to have an 'antique' car tag.

Pics of my new ride...
