New member with "new to me" Mini...
Hi all!
Here's my baby. 2007 Mellow Yellow "S":




Now after reading all the horror stories on the dreaded timing chain/tensioner/etc. and related cold start noise (and possible ensuing engine destruction) I'm just hoping I didn't make a costly mistake by picking it up :(

Such a fun little car.

Nice MINI!!! If you still have warranty left I would not worry about it. MINI will fix it for you.

Now forget all of that & go out & motor around in that beautiful MINI.
