Hi There,

 

3 hours ago i just purchased my first ever Mini - 1991 City 1000 Auto (i can only drive automatics) and already got waved at by a fellow mini owner :D . I will probably be on here lots over the coming months, but have some particular questions to ask first...

  • Is it normal for the Speedo to bounce so much under 30mph?
  • Is it normal to have an immediate hatred for 'so called' BMW minis or is that just me?
  • What are the first things i need to make sure are sorted  - i will go through the brakes, do an oil change etc... but is there anything else i need to sort or make sure is sorted?

Also - i bought the car and did everything i was meant to - HPI check, MOT certs all match and body work is in great condition, but as i only have a 2011 Golf to compare it too, i wondered if there was any Leeds based Mini owners who would have a look over it. This would put my mind at ease as well as provide an opportunity to meet some fellow owners.

 

Beer/Tea/Sandwiches will be made readily available to anyone who is kind enough to help.

 

Like i said, i'm sure i have loads of questions to ask and the Mini Sport Catalogue is already on it's way.

 

Thanks

Steve

Hi, get yourself on LCMOC.com Leeds Classic Mini Owners Club. Loads of experienced people on there that would be happy to help. Also the immediate hatred of Bini's is perfectly normal.
