    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to the site and to mini ownership. I recently picked up a 2005 R50 all stock MINI. I am the second owner and it appears to be in pretty good shape.

    While this is my first MINI, it has been a long time dream for me. I saw my first Classic Mini in person on campus at Ohio State in 1980. I was in love from that point on.

    I have always delayed this purchase because of other more pressing issues. Finally my time has come and I haven't stopped smiling for a month. :D

    Nice to meet you all,

    Thanks.

    Jeff

    Hey Jeff.....
    Welcome to M/A:Thumbsup::Thumbsup:
    I see the first order of business was to establish your garage, good job. Nice Red MINI.:arf:

    I see you met Jim already. He's from Pa. but wishes he was here in Ohio, because we do good food. He's sort of the good uncle next door.:D

    You need to hook up with all of the other MOM members..... Tim Horton's breakfast and the Christmas dinner. See...... Food again.:ihih:

    We will be talking food, swapping gifts, and kicking tires. Don't worry about the Old Farts (a.k.a. Silverbacks), their meds usually keep them tame at that hour of the morning.
