Talking Finally got my first mini :D

Hey
Been saving up to get a mini for ages!! And i finally brought myself a 2005 cooper S =] Not bad for a second car ^.^

Had a bit of an issue with one of the run flats (The wheels were refurbed by the dealer and one of the tyres hadn't been sealed properly so it had no air in it!) So i haven't been able to drive it much, but so far i love it Got it booked in the garage for Tuesday to sort out the tyre and then i can take it out for a proper run

Been doing my best to read up on the forums about general maintainence, but any advice would be great I know it is important to keep an eye on the oil and tyre pressures!

Have included a couple of pics of the car

If you drove on the RF with no air, you should ask the dealer to replace it since it was their fault that it wasn't sealed properly. Check the owner's manual, but the RF tires have a very limited life being run without air.
