Book/Site Recommendations--how cars (Minis) work?
Hi all,
I'm awaiting delivery of my 2013 Mini S hardtop. Buying my first Mini has gotten me interested (after all these years!) in knowing a bit about how cars work (i.e., I get in turn the key--or, soon, push the button!--and what happens: electric, motor, etc.). There are lots of resources out there--hard to know what would be best--and, specifically, what would be the best resource given the particular car I've just purchased. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (...and would give me something to focus on other than waiting patiently for my car to arrive in Peabody, MA!).
Thanks,
Mike

A website like "how stuff works" is fairly good at getting you pointed to links of information, and might be a good place to start browsing. I just now asked Amazon to search books for "Autos 101" and got some titles that might be helpful. And it might still be useful to visit a library if just to be able to sample a few books that might help.
Just some ideas. I've not had to acquire these basic concepts recently, maybe someone else has, or has worked with a kid/student/friend and knows of better contemporary resources. Best of luck in your quest!
