the amount of money you saved on the cost of purchasing a classic mini will compensate for the cost of owning one.....get the haynes manuel and make sure you do the weekly check ups and the monthly check ups....pre-emptive maintence will save you alot of headaches and money for the future of this mini

The automatic drives really well. Make sure you're in the right gear before you go driving off (Drive is at the very bottom) and use the emergency brake when you park (there's no park setting so leave it in netural). The transmission uses the same oil as the engine so just check the oil and you should be good.

The shifter is on the floor and the pattern is "R N 1 2 3 D" R is at the top and D is the bottom. You pull up on the shaft of the shifter to change it. It's not that hard to get used to once you see it.

well you have to have your foot on the brake to move it from neutral and reverse but not for the forward drive gears. and the car always has to be in neutral to start. If you turn the key and it doesn't do anything but the lights come on make sure you're in neutral first and then try again.

If this Mini is an auto, be sure to change the engine oil OFTEN! Not the best auto ever made and sharing the engine oil exacerbates the situation. A good PM schedule will extend the life. This is the same auto as in the Austin Americas. When you need parts you'll need to link up with some of those enthusiasts for leads, too.

You have no idea... I was reading ImagoX's thread about why he loves his classic, and I can't wait for the days that I can take my son to school in it. I can hear the kids now. I have been planning on purchasing a MINI so we could both work on it together...father-son bonding time (something that I really haven't had with my father)...anyways...yeah, can't wait
