Hello!

My name is John, I've been poking around for a little while and felt I should post up and introduce myself. I purchased a 72 Mini Cooper in Georgia a few months ago and drove it cross country to Las Vegas and then trucked it to Santa Barbara. I fell in love with the classic mini when I sat in a B16 powered MiniTec mini at the Historics earlier this year and just had to get one. I work for Moss Motors and my roomate has a 02 Cooper S so I felt a mini would fit right in with my life! anyway, here are some pics. Enjoy!

About to cross over the Mississippi River




Stuffing my mini and my bike into my Uhaul in LV


unloading...


my roomate's and my single parking spot with 2 mini's and a motorcycle.

Hi John, Nice Mini ! and welcome to NAM
Thanks for the pics too - you're ahead of the game.

I can imagine there were a few tense moments during your unload
But what a nice ride for your Mini .
