    Starting My Mini Up

Hi everyone.  A couple of months ago I bought a 96 Mini Kensington,  SPI, previously imported from Japan, and goodness has it brought back some memories !!  I bought my first mini around 50 years ago. Back then, I had no option but to learn to maintain my cars, my mini being the first.  I'm a classic case of "once youve had a mini, you just can't escape from the enjoyment (is that the right word ?) of owning one.  So having been "mini less" for around 20 years, this year I've scratched the itch and took the plunge again.  Here we go again !!

Well done!

I'm sure you must have a few 'mini' stories to tell!
Welcome back!

 

I have fond memories of my first car... a Fiat Mirafiori 131s. But I wish it had been a mini. (none were anywhere near me!)
