Hi friends, my girlfriend and her R60 Countryman just moved in with me. I tend to perform all necessary work on my vehicles, so I figured it's time to join this forum and become more familiar with Minis. I've owned three e39 BMWs, but this will be the first Mini I've wrenched on.

I enjoy track days, off-roading, cycling, and adventures. The Mini will be my girlfriend's daily and a road trip car for us, but it might also see an occasional autocross. For adventures, we'll be using my Nissan Frontier. Feel free to check out my build thread for that if you're interested: https://www.clubfrontier.org/threads...thread.361371/

 

There is some good information here, but you do have to sift through it sometimes.

What year is her car? The later ones seem to be much better cars. Earlier ones can have some minor issues that can require regular attention.

 

It is a 2013. I'm sure I'll stay busy researching gremlins and maintenance items as they come up!
