Introducing...Me and Tim

[pintofhooky]

Hi, although I have posted in the BRG thread, I am a newbie.
I ordered Tim (named after Tim in The Holy Grail), an 08 S BRG with white top & bonnet stripes.

I also heard you guys were quite friendly, seems they were right!

Funny, I used to drive by the Leyland/Rover plant when we went shopping in Oxford, never thought I'd own a new Mini .

The wife's from Milton-u-Wychwood, Oxon, and we now live in Salem, Oregon.
I was in the UK for 8-9 years and loved every minute of it.

Any way, there's my introduction,
