New MINI Owner from Cincinnati area
Just purchased a 2005 MCS - Chili Red with White Top.
I normally do my own work on cars and hope to do the same with the MINI...I purchased a Bentley Manual from Amazon so I guess that is the first step.
First impressions...The Fun Factor is high!
1) Realizing I may never see 30 mpg the way I drive.
Issues...
1) That cup holder has to go!
2) The aftermarket head unit (Kenwood) does not pickup AM/FM well with the stock antenna...I plan to install a used factory model...P/N: 65.12-6 961 275 so the steering wheel controls will work as designed.
See you on the road!
