Rio the '03 R50 & Me

Hello from The Bronx, NY, recently purchased a 5spd '03 R50 for daily driving and general enjoyment.
Rio is currently awaiting an appointment for Power Steering recall at Mini of Manhattan, the hatch nor driver door are opening but I will earn its trust and get in the right way. For now the drive is rewarding enough its worth crawling in via passenger side (a constant reminder of how surprisingly roomy it is).

I will be perusing the forums and asking questions for DIY and aftermarket parts. For now thank you for having me I look forward to learning and putting a grin on my face akin to that of my Mini, Rio.

Welcome to the forum. A first gen MINI sounds like the perfect car for New York. Enjoy it. Try to get out of town and find some twisty roads.
