Or PM me and I can give you a Word document - easy to modify. I print SSM stuff on one side and my info and some other useful links on the other. Good at car shows.
3. I'm very near you (Grand Haven) and owned from 2002 until very recently (still have my Mini). Did own own work often times, basic maintenance especially, and brakes and stuff; still do work for some folks around. In my garage ... free, you buy lunch while we turn wrenches. If you plan to do your own work I can give you an hour or so and warn you of some MINI peculiarities and pitfalls . . . just PM if interested. I'm retired can do this most anytime.
4. There's a few around that do car shows routinely. "BA" here and I do a new/old sort of display regularly . . . Mini/MINI
5. Last year a new group formed that welcomes ALL British makes and does drives. They had been monthly but are backing off a bit for the new year; more like quarterly. We had 20+ cars at times . . .
