Newbie to Mini

Hi there!
My sweet husband just bout me a 2012 Cooper S R56. I’m already in love with it. We’re still trying to learn all its little quirks. We haven’t owned an import since my husbands 68 MGBGT he had in college. There’s a huge learning for us.
We are gear heads and like to do our own maintenance and repairs if we can.
I have lots of questions. Please be patient with me. 🙂

The Mini gives you all the joy from an LBC without the fiddly carbs and electrics by Lucifer

I’ve owned a 67 TR4, a 71 TR6 and a 77 Spitfire. I now have a 2002 Cooper S. Will never go back to carbs!

Have fun and motor on
