Hello All,
My wife has wanted a Mini for a while and the opportunity presented itself and now after much ado about nothing we are the proud owners of our first Mini. a loverly 2014 Mini Countryman. I have to admit it is a grip of fun to drive even though I am a larger sort of git and would rather be in my truck.

So now I have a new hobby of repair and maintain a new vehicle. There is not a Mini Dealer with in 120 miles of my home so a lot will be home brewed. Any knowledge you could impart would go a great distance in making this a happy new hobby and adventure with what seems like a fantastic vehicle.

Thanks for you grace and understanding whilst I gain my sea legs as it were.

Rick

 

Welcome to the forum and the mini experience. There is an incredible amount of information on the forum to help with any problem. The members are also ready to help with what you can’t find.

Post a picture of your MINI and welcome to the community.

 

I am downsizing from a truck to a mini. RAM 1500 downsized to Jeep Gladiator downsized to Mini clubman. Just realized I don’t use a truck as a truck that much. I hope you enjoy your mini!

 

Thank you! I will get a picture of her Country man when the weather allows it. The Peninsula where I live tends to be raining and miserable more often than not. We did own a 2006 convertible for a very short period of time but we don't count that. It was just the first hit for free type of thing and now we are firmly and forever hooked on this little monster! What a car.

 

Welcome and Congrats
