    Greetings from Springfield, Missouri, the center of the known universe.

    Three time MINI Cooper owner, currently have a 2009 and 2011, formerly had a 2005.

    Love the MINI, but what a pain when they break.

    My 2005 had the CVT auto transmission fail, replaced it with a 2009 6 speed, which has a clutch issue (failed suddenly at 20,000 miles).

    The 2011 is an automatic - so far so good.

    All three were purchase for the wife. I thought she would learn how to drive the six speed, but I was wrong, hence the 2011.

    Glad to have found this forum.

    Look up and sign up on Ozarkmini.com and watch for the April 21st signup for MINIs In The Ozarks to be held at Eureka Springs this fall. Last year was their first at that venue and a great time was had by all. We'll look for you there.

    Welcome, Springfield MO and surrounding area is a favorite, many teenage memories of fun times there (Monett, Aurora, watching white squirrels in Marionville).

    I booked our room for MINO yesterday, should be an excellent event what with all the good motoring roads in northern Arkansas + several score of MINIs!

    I thought you meant you were from Austin. At least that's what they say there 24/7.

    ;-)

    Welcome! I used to have relatives in MO, just outside KC.
