TELAMOM: The Even Less Authorized MINI Owner's Manual.

Edited by Steve Baker.

What Is This?

Owners of the BMW MINI are frequently fanatical about their cars. I'm one of them.

The MINI company produced a hilarious pamphlet called "The Unauthorized MINI Owners Manual" which is obviously not truly Unauthorized. However, it's a great idea - and it bears repeating!

This collection of useful tips, jokes, oddball facts and anecdotes is genuinely unauthorized - put together initially by myself - but hopefully to be grown and owned by a bunch of regular MINI owners.
