G'day from Australia
I bought a one owner 1972 Leylans mini Clubman in November. It is Australian built with 1100cc engine/4 speed sychnro, and is in lovely condition. It had one lady owner prior to November and has a genuine 60k miles. It runs and drives like a dream. It is currently on eBay.com.au along with a number of photos.

Hello From Colorado,
I have just heard about NAM and had to sign up.. I have been checking things out and I am very impressed with all of the good stuff I am finding.

I am just outside of Boulder Colorado and wondering where everyone takes their Mini for service or mods..

Bought a 2005 Mini and having fun

Hi all,

I've owned a Mini now for a week and it's fun to drive again. I got it used from Jacobs and it's black with black interior. The automatic will make it easier for my kids to drive it (like I will ever let them).

I'm especially impressed with the handling in this snow, but I look forward to the spring and the ability to open the sunroof.

If you see me tooling around the NW suburbs, please wave.

Is there anything I need to know about owning a used Mini?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a '08 Dark Silver MCS. Thanks to your great insights, I'm tracking my order like crazy. It's on the OTELLO and should arrive in New York on the 7th. I don't really know what production week is that, but if there's anyone on the same boat, hi!!
I used to drive a Mini One D back in Europe and I can't wait to have this one. This is going to be a big change for me!! Just two questions I would like to ask:

Beside youtube do you guys know where I can find detailed road tests for this new generation??
I live in Boston, is there a MC driving club around?

Thanks !!!

Hello to all; this is my first post and I do not own a Mini -I just sold an '01 Acura NSX and am looking at cars to replace it. The Mini is a car I have long admired and once I found out they offered the "S" in an automatic (long commute in difficult traffic) I added the Mini to the list. I am here to read and learn about this cool little rocket. Thanks and have a great day.

Just bought a 2003 S manual Dark grey white top. It's actually my wifes car but I find myself asking her if she needs me to pick up the kids or groceries, fill it with gas, etc!
I don't think she has caught on to my alterior motives yet. I wonder how long I can keep her fooled.
What a great car to drive!!

Allo! Got invited from the Owners Lounge and love it here! Had my first Mini event this weekend and I'm hooked on this crowd. I've got an '07 Lightning Blue girl with bonnet stripes and Union Jack mirror caps, and after meeting the crew this weekend, I have some more modding to do to catch up! Glad to be here

new to the forum

Hi Gang,I'm new to the forum and Mini ownership. I purchased a new 2007 MC in Oxygen Blue with a white top. MiniMi has the premium package, cold weather package, white side turn indicators, and some misc. small stuff. So far, I'm loving it but I only have 400 miles on it. it has snowed here for like 30 of the last 35 days! Has anyone else experienced a shift **** that comes off in your hand on a R56 Mini?Thanks,

Back into the Mini fold

Hello everyone. I just ordered an '08 MCS. Previously owned an '05 MCS that was lost in a flood. This is a great site with a wealth of information. Many thanks to the site organizers and all the contributors for this great information source.
