My wife and I picked up a 2008 Cooper S R56 about two months ago and have been loving it! We definitely have been bit by the MINI bug and have become a little obsessed. Looking forward to learning as much about this car as possible. I've really enjoyed making small changes so far. Also, this thing handles like a dream. We're in the upstate of South Carolina and it handles the mountains beautifully. Original - Day we bought it
Welcome! Your car loks very nice. If you plan on doing your own wrenching, you will be needing the Bentley manual, it is the most comprehensive of all the shop manuals. http://www.bentleypublishers.com/mini/cooper-s/index.html
Thanks guys! Very excited to learn more. Added some rear mud flaps and removed the dealership sticker.
