Mini Dad

Hi,
Father of an ambitious 25 year old that just had to have a Mini. That is fine if you can afford the car, insurance, maint, etc. About 2 years ago she went out and bought a 2005 Mini. Well, dear old dad has helped as much as he can with maintenance and such but these cars are just not like the cars I'm used to maintaining. Love the car, fun to drive...not so fun to work on. Hopefully some of the folks on here can maybe keep me on the straight and narrow with some of nuisances of these cars.

Amen to that. Same thing when working on some outboard motors.

Ambitious 23 year old here, and had it not been for these forums and a Youtube user that goes by the name Mod Mini, I would have lost the ambition in my Mini long ago.


Welcome!
