I'm so happy for you Jeff!

Clearly it was worth the wait, as you've now got yourself a stunning Cooper S!

Despite my earlier reservations about the Tuscan Beige with Lightning Blue I have to now admit that I agree with you totally, and it really suits your colour-scheme.

Now it's arrived you're going to have to find something else to spend your days and nights worrying about!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And to the question of what option DIDN'T I get?

-Sports suspension
-Sirius Satellite radio (but I will be adding that once its availablie)

That was, literally, about it for factory-installs. I guess I could have asked for each seat to be a different color of upholstery too. :-)

I really like how the anthracite pulls everything together.

Picked up new Mini Cooper S on Saturday. Fantastic drive, really impressed. You can see our old Mini Cooper S parked next to it in the picture. We went for the same colour as we liked the Dark Grey Black combo so much.

On the inside we went for Rooster Red colourline, Piano Black and Chromline, and it really looks good.

Itching to try the sport button now!

Saving up to add driving lights added, we had them on the old Cooper S but didn't order them straight off, regretting that now.

jmelrose,Car looks gorgeous! LOVE tthe interior

[Den W]

MCX the red interior and the grey really look the nuts! enjoy

[mcx]

Thanks Den W.

The red was a gamble put really works with the grey/black exterior. The chrome with the piano black is also a good combo. Our last 'S' was just plain on the interior so decided to be a bit braver this time.

I agree about jmelrose's car looks superb.

Looks top!!! Your new mowtah isn't too bad either

Thanks Ollie.

It's taken some of our friends a while to work out that we have changed the car, with the colour been the same, and the number plate the same (we transfered the old one).

It's amazing what a good car valet can do these days!

Only things we miss from the old car is the 'burble sound' on idle and the screem of the supercharger is you go into hyper space........

I am joining this thread a little early. My new S left on the Integrity Monday, 5/7/07. I sold Otter Boy to my son (2005) and ordered this one. Old dog, so I did basically a twin of the original OB.

[ian yuen]

hello all,

mine's just a bog standard mcs with aircon and hi-fi and fog lamps.
finally here are some pics these were taken on south stack anglesey

enjoy

[eggtruck]

Hey I just traded mine in for a 2006 R53!! Could I be the first to do this???? Maybe I should stard the R56 un-roll call!

[guppy]

hey i just got my yellow mini cooper s on Monday and I'm very excited about the car. I'm very very pleased with the car except for the exceptionally craptastic sound from the hifi but i still love my car.
my first upgrade will probably be the springs because this car desperately needs to be lowered and I'm not fat enough to lower it with my weight. any suggestions?
i hear h and r only makes the springs for the r56 right now? will i need anything else or will stock shocks be fine. anyone diy installation? how hard is it
I'm so excited

[CC07ERS]

nice mellow yellow guppy.

[scone]

Really nice car guppy.
