Congratulations, Lordy. The clear lenses/silver bulbs really compliment PS/B well - maybe the best of all the colors. It gives it a really clean, classy look. Love it!

Thanks for the pics. We Yanks are having to live vicariously through you lucky Brits so the more pictures and reviews the better!

R60 Mike · Dec 1st, 2006, 07:32 PM

So for all the New R56 owners I just wondered if there is any thing that bothers you about your new cars for me it has to be:

When it has been driving the plastic gullies around the roof fill up with water and as u open the door as the water rolls of the roof over the plastic gullies and because its full drips all over my new interior happened twice now was very unimpressed.

Second problem is the awful sun visors theres a huge gap in the corner and it seems like thats the only place the sun ever is. I am sure the gap is worse than on the old minis.

Thats the only things I have really picked up on at the moment but apart from those minor things what a car just look forward to what ever journey i can make in it

Paul · Dec 2nd, 2006, 08:19 AM

I'm used to those things from previous MINIs, so far nothing to grumble about.

ianreeves · Dec 2nd, 2006, 03:21 PM

Just got ours today... MCS in laser blue....

The only things I don't like ( Besides the dealer ) are ; ( some maybe fixed when I read the manual )

Radio volume knob
Auto lights come on too soon
Sports option won't stay on
The fact we didn't order the chrome interior
Auto-wipers need to reset each time

But am happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks excellent

Hannibales · Dec 3rd, 2006, 01:31 PM

Got mine too!

ru81 · Dec 3rd, 2006, 01:34 PM

Looks superb Hannibales! Keep posting the photos!

peterf · Dec 3rd, 2006, 02:35 PM

Got mine on Thursday.

32 mpg so far from 150 miles, a mixture of countryside and round town.

Hannibales · Dec 3rd, 2006, 04:44 PM

Go on then!

These are the last though, it's got brass monkey freezing out there now!

So far I've got about 28mpg from ~50 miles. It was about 17mpg (!) but I took a spin out to Westerham last night and now it's getting better.

supa-dupa-cooper · Dec 3rd, 2006, 04:49 PM

Looking good everybody

Exactly the same for me - I ordered the smokers pack so I have a lid to hide coins and I got no ashtray! Going to ask my dealer to send me one.

DaveyC · Dec 5th, 2006, 05:58 AM

Mention this to my dealer and he has ordered one for me

Still waiting for the rubber mats though

Martin F · Dec 5th, 2006, 06:09 AM

My rubber mats complete with MCS logo turned up yesterday so they are now available. Laser Blue touch up stick still not available for ordering.
