    Just been here, lurking occasionally for a few years. How did I find this site? Through a web search for something I was trying to do...

    Started at the Loveland Mini Dealer site and somehow ended up here. I am also a member of NAM and love all things Mini so I thought I would join this too

    I'm a soon to be MINI owner and have been a voyeur on this site since the time I placed my order in early September. I'm also a member of NAM. Found both sites by searching for info. And I love this site because it is the "fun" MINI forum. I appreciate all the info sharing from the members. Makes me confident that I'll be able to maintain my MINI for years to come. Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply, Nathan!

    (When the Forum Founder replies to a newbie post that fast it really says a lot about the forum!)

    I don't have a code yet... roads were still "treacherous" according to the news yesterday, so I stayed inside and scoured the Internet for OBD/ECU Codes (which is how I found the Motoring Alliance!).

    Got a friend who's going to drive me to my car (in her MINI Justa "Baker Street") this afternoon. Had hoped to print off your list so I could look up the code(s) there and decide whether or not to drive it.

    I'm thinking there's something funky with my "Internet Explorer 11" that's preventing me from accessing the other pages. I'm getting a 404 error, even with "Compatibility" turned on for this site... just not processing the PHP properly (Thanks, Microsoft!).

    I'll try downloading Chrome and see if I can get past page 1 that way.

    But, really... even though I can't (yet) get to it, I appreciate the (several days worth of) effort you put into posting all those gazillions of codes! (Thanks again!)

    I'm a "newbie" here but, from what I've seen so far, this looks to be a great place for MINIacs like ME! =)

    While sitting at my desk with a little free time on my hands, I decided to take a "Mini Break" and since I was going to be buying my wife a Cooper Hardtop, I should join a Mini forum.
    So, I Yahoo searched "Mini Cooper Forum".
    From the search results I selected several of the forums and checked them out.
    After, several hours of research I decided this was the best forum.
    So, here I am.:biggrin5:
    Now, I just need to find some time to catch up on my work.

    Welcome to M/A the FUN MINI site.

    Now you should start a new thread and open a garage and fill it with pictures of your MINI.

    Long time member on Mini2 until it went south several years ago.
    Long time member on NAM, but getting disappointed with it lately.
    Need a good MINI forum.

    How I found MA

    After many years of wanting one I was able to find a mini for me. An 08 blue (my favorite color) convertible (my favorite type of car). I signed up for the MOTD and that is how I found you guys. Hello.

    Hi,
    Looking for info on Ethanol laced fuel, and it's impact on Mini engines. Found a lot of good stuff.
