Just acquired 2013 Mini Cooper S Hardtop. It's a project car. Been sitting for 3 years. First issue I'll be working on is the battery is not charging. Looking forward to some great mini discussions!

Welcome! Hope you and yours are minimally affected by IAN. I spent many good times in Sarasota, mostly when I was a kid. The Ringling Circus Wintered there as did the Boston Red Sox. My folks retired there but are now deceased. They had a condo on the 9th floor overlooking the Bay. Best sunsets ever!

Well I am embarrassed cuz I just noticed your message. Thank you for asking. We were very lucky. Just lost one large oak tree. Many others weren't so lucky. We live on Siesta. Looks like your mini is set up! You munt have put a lot of time into it. I'm all stock except for Bora exhaust. Just finished replacing the alternator now it's overheating! Must have missed something putting it back together. Anyway, thanks for the welcome.

Start a post

Can somebody please tell me how to start a post? I can't seem to figure it out. I must be missing something!

Go to the section you want to be in, hit the red "+new thread" in the top left hand side under the task bar/ user CP
