Thanks, my 1st feeling on R56 is that it provides better ride quality compare with my previous 03 MCS. However, still need time to get use with a light clutch and steering wheel.

Smile Took delivery yesterday 26/5

Hi all, I picked up my MCS from the local dealers yesterday.

So far everything going well, no rattles or twangs though my hifi seems to be of the 'no-bass' variety. Hope I don't need to abandon my old dance music cds!

I've already given a nasty shock to a white Cavalier which turned out to be a Calibra turbo, despite running in .

All in all great fun.

Hello everyone, I picked up my R56 back on 16 Feb. This is my first MINI and Im really enjoying it. Unfortunately she was in for a new transmission at the beginning of May but Im hoping that will be the end of the troubles. Ive already removed the stock air box and added a filter. Im looking forward to more mods

I now have the new OB II. Picked him up on Wed. 5/23, have driven 920 miles. This is a great car. It is different than OB I, but can work with that. Pics are in the gallery of both. Getting used to the new gearing and torque on my commute. Very comfortable and goes like a big rocket.

Got the settings on my profile set for the turn indicators, locking down, etc.

When my son and I go on a 'coffee run', you should see the people do a quad take!!! 1 MINI is enough to have them look, but 2 virtually identical ones is rather amusing. Counted 7 MINI's on our run on Saturday!!

Great Car.

Smile My new Cooper S

Had our Cooper s for three weeks now - What a Car!! (pictures attached).

it's so fun to drive, has a real character, and I can't wait until it's run in.

Laser Blue - Has the Chili pack, sports suspension, full punched black leather and I think the Chrome line exterior really sets it off.

What do you think?

This is our first MINI experience & it's great!!

Trinity07S and ElcotMini, your cars look fab The lack of rear fogs look great on the DS combo, and the chrome ext line looks cracking on the LaB S!!! Welcome to MINI2 ElcotMini. How do you find the Sports Suspension with the 17" wheels??
