New MINI Owner

Just a quick hello to everyone. I am a new MINI owner. I bought a used 2005 MINI Cooper S w/ John Cooper works on it. What an awsome car! I love it
Any words of wisdom from "veteran" MINI owners?
Thanks in advance!

Renee

Welcome to NAM.
Advice I have seen here in quantity:
Use synthetic oil.
Check your tire pressure.
Racing is done on tracks.
Wave at all other Minis.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you picked a good one. Have fun, be careful, and understand that a Works car is quick enough to get you into trouble if you don't engage the brain first.

Pictures would be good!

Welcome to NAM!! Just remember to stay in your lane when driving the twisties, and take a driver's school to get to really know your ride [as well as yourself] in a safe, fun, FAST and FURIOUS yet controlled venue.
