Hello from Wisconsin
Hi all. Joe here, I live in Wisconsin and my wife and I are proud owners of a 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman. This is our first Mini, we got it in July of 2011 and since have fallen in love with everything Mini.
Recently I have had a great interest in classic Mini's. I've spent countless hours reading about the history of the Mini, internet searches and watching YouTube videos. I guess I've become a little obsessed .
My plan is to purchase a Classic in the near future so I've done some searching on the web and as far as I can tell there is only one for sale in the whole state of Wisconsin. This search may be a little harder than I thought.
Well, thanks for having me! This looks like a great site with tons of info. I look forward to gaining a wealth of knowledge.

I e-mailed Milwaukee MINIs just before a weekend myself, and the organizer took a few days to get back to me, but rest assured, she certainly will. If you sent her a pic, she'll post it to the FB page and give you a brief introduction to the group.

That's really cool, sounds like a great club!

It's not an annual event but a rather large event that travels through the US(someone correct me if I'm wrong) so I expect the turn out to be MASSIVE. I'm hoping vendors come by as well since my schedule makes going to the Dragon unlikely for a few years still :(

Thank you. Our Countryman is still under warranty so we have it serviced at the dealer. When I get a classic I will do the work myself. I've enjoyed working on cars since high school and restoring vintage Volkswagen's the past few years.

Awesome. It sounds like they have some really cool things planned throughout Milwaukee. Can't wait!

Hi and welcome to the NAM family, Joe!
Congrats on your Mini enthusiasm. Don't let state boarders control you finding and buying a Classic Mini! Mini Mania in California specializes in them and are a great resource.
You will find leads all over the states on decent classics. Just bring your wallet and maybe some grease too! LOL
I have gone to a few Mini Mania get to-gethers and have seen many classics there. They usually can find the tough parts to find also.
