New Mini Owner

Hello!

Just picked up my first Mini last weekend, sort of on a whim... got a great deal on a 2008 S with no compression on cylinder #2, wanted something I could tinker with during the cold Michigan winter. Always respected the Mini community, have a couple friends who own them, looking forward to getting involved this year as I hopefully get this thing running again. Probably pulling the cylinder head to start with, heading over to the "Information Sources" section next!

-Matt

Welcome to the forum.

MINI may be the most common brand to buy "on a whim"

Post some pictures when you get a chance.
