    Hi folks,
    Just want to say hi to all you fellow mini nuts.
    Been driving 35 years and never owned or even driven a mini of any sort..
    Finally took the plunge with a little R52 Mini One ragtop to zip around the highland twisties with the roof down and bonnet velcroed to my grey balding barnet.
    Got the old girl in for the MOT today so fingers crossed but I’ve quickly realised it’s a challenging wee compact motor and looking forward to pulling the front end off to repair dreaded sensor oil leak
    It’ s a peppy little kart but I’m sure it’ll be remapped to Cooper level soon.
    Time to go browse forums and start my learning process again, new car new challenges
    Cheers folks
    Gary
