Automotive Talk: Mini owners do it themselves!

Well, I now finally have my Mini here with me. It took a lot of money to get it up to MOT test standard, more than some would have paid. Most would have,and do, called me crazy. However, I most certainly would not use the garage I did again, I love the car so much I am glad that all is done. Now I just have to learn how to repair and work on the car myself because....mini owners do it themselves! (partly for the cost benefits but mostly for the satisfaction)
