So come on, all you lucky owners who've taken delivery of your new MINI Coopers, say hello, and if you're feeling generous post some pics and driving impressions for the rest of us!
Congrats on the car mate, love the interior, am waiting on virtually the same interior but with chequered dash, anthracite ceiling and satnav, on a Dark Silver MCS.
I gotta wait until mid March for the first ones in Oz.
Stunning Chris!
Congrats,the wait is finally over for you(and me!).
Cover is a great idea on collection alright.
My parents were dead impressed as I was.
You are right about the headlight washers,totally mental at night
I didn't get an ashtray either(same reason as you,coins only!),I think there is a post on here about that though.
Happy motoring in your R56.
Fergal.
Wow! They went to way much more trouble than they did for mine, mine wasnt even inside the dealership, got to say I was very disappointed with the way it was handed over.
Lovely car Chris, looks great!! Shall keep an eye out for you congrats and Happy Birthday!
Saw another SS yesterday, S though not cooper, no bonnet stripes. Not too keen on them without bonnet stripes.
We picked up our Cooper just before Christmas. Haven't gone over the top on spec, as I also have an E70 X5 on order which is going to seriously dent the savings pot. Essentially a pure silver Cooper with the pepper pack and heated windscreen washers (don't know why they aren't standard!). But have to say it is a blast, what a fantastic car. Next time we'll get a few more options!
I was told when I spec'd my new (First) Mini back in the last week of november I'd get it maybe the end of January....I have had my doubts and did not believe it and did not hear from the garage since. So today at 15.40 I phoned to see the progress of the order expecting to find out about a delay....instead I'm told it arrived an hour ago and is in the yard and I can collect it on Tuesday....
I never really got on with the 15"s on the 1st Gen Mini (apart from the std 15" 7 Hole alloys), but I really like the Spoolers!!! Then again, all the other wheels in the range look great!!! Picking ours up tommorow, so does that mean I can join the R56 owners club
Picked it up yesterday just after lunch time and so far I LOVE MY FIRST MINI
07 Chilli pk Cooper (I had planed last year to buy the disel one but found out just befor ordering there was a new model on route... saw the reported fuel efficency of the new cooper so went with that instead.... So my Cooper was the first cooper i drove....really liked the drive of the one D so figured I would also like the cooper!!
Not sure how I did deal wise I did not have a trade in and only got TLC for 5 years for free along with some mini gimmicks ( candles, cups, pens notebook etc.) along with full tank of petrol Looking at other peoples posts not sure how that rates?
so far in my 20hr ownership I've covered just under 200km...and have to say love the cruise control feature....and the attracted attention...My Mom went to the showroom with me and was embarrassed on the drive home by the people on the roads looking at the shine of the lightning blue ( Colour of which after some worry I love IN THE FLESH SO TO SPEAK) it increased the smile on my face to see people looking...I even saw kids pointing it out to their moms as I passed ...
Nice car Vinnie. I think you've got a really good deal there, considering you were not trading anything in. I think you'll find 99% of people on here don't manage to get anything chucked in for free w/o a trade in
and, once again, another car with perfect 'shutlines' on the bonnet & wing/wheel arch interface.
I think a few others posting their cars on this forum should take a look as to how small and parallel the gap should be!
Don't panic though, it is fixable under warranty - just take it back to your dealer, they should have had the 'bulletin' from Cowley telling them how to sort it!
Got our Cooper today. Pics on the gallery. Must say, v.v. impressed. Still running in, but its mighty quick!!! Got a 200 odd mile round trip this weekend!! Piccys (very poor quality) are in my gallery. Better ones on teh way!!
