Hi all,
New to Mini ownership and the forum, thought I'd get on and say hello. Recently bought a '54 plate Cooper and loving it so far!
Haven't got that many pics yet...

The car stood out with relatively low miles (65,000), chilli pack, full leather and climate. Looking to keep it as it is, possibly installing a set of grille lights on the bonnet and an interior chrome pack (if it's a simple job that is). There are a couple of niggles, the flywheel is rattling (advised it's on it's way out) so it's probably getting that and a new clutch soon, the driver's door actuator is gone (told this is common) and there's a dent in the drivers door done by the previous owner that'll need hit out.
Looking to get out to some meets hopefully and get to know some like minded Mini nuts! I'm based in Glasgow so I'll try to get out to any vaguely local events. Haven't been driving long and haven't had the chance to get it out on some b-roads yet, so taking it easy...
Cheers!
Brad
