Hi everyone. I just purchased a Lightning Blue 2007 Cooper w/ a 6-speed manual trans. LOVE IT!! So fun to drive, and the gas mileage is incredible, compared to my previous Jeep. I'm sure I will need a lot of help, as I got no owner's manual with it, though I did download the PDF manual. Still trying to learn all the acronyms, and all the various features of my new buddy. I'm by no means new to forums or doing my own automotive work (owning and wrenching on everything from bikes to muscle cars, Miatas to Jeeps), though I will say that without a proper manual, it has been a bit challenging learning all the features of my MINI. I will defiantly be posting questions and searching for answers as the days go on, but so far I'm loving this car.
Welcome to M/A Ah yes Bay Village. My in-laws have a boat anchored at Bay Point Yacht Club. We spend fun weekends up at lake Erie. Put-In-Bay..... a wild and crazy place when college kids are there.
Welcome to M/A! I understand when you say it is fun to drive!! I love the stability and the response these coopers have Have fun and good luck on any future mod you have plan!
Bay Village, just west of Cleveburg. Thanks for the welcome! This seems to be about the best MINI site I've found so far!
Old Blue, you may want to check out the local folks over at Burning River Minis or NEO Minis, both clubs in your area.
