Hi all,
I’m 16 and just got my licence and a part time job, so I’m finally able to get myself a mini!
I’ve been waiting for this since I was 6 or 7 to be honest. After hearing about my mums minis and my uncle racing them against (and beating) mustangs and camaros I’ve lusted after one ever since. There’s a couple of nice minis I’m looking into seeing and hopefully buying within the next couple of weeks. Owning one is probably gonna cost all of my wages but oh well, it’ll be worth it.
Any mini ownership tips for a noobie like myself?

Hi, welcome to the forum, heaps of advice and knowledge chaps on here.
Maintenance is the key when owning an old mini.
Regular oil changes........
Most of all.....drive it lots!

Hi, welcome, a Haynes manual is pretty essential if you're planning to get your hands dirty.
