Don't even talk to me about impulse buys! :-) My 06 JCW was an impulse buy as was my 04 MC and my 02 MCS DS - if I'd been sensible I'd be on my third MINI instead of my sixth... :-)

Congrats on the nice spec!

Looks awesome in the flesh too - WIlliams MINI in Manchester have got one with an aerokit and the colour is great (but am still a Pepper White/Black deffo for the newbie, with an aero kit - which, incidentally looks the total dogz! The 'vents' around the fog lights are flared and look really aggressive)

If I had ordered one for March it would of been Pepper White but Lightning (Hyper) Blue has always been a close favourite and been available now swung it for me.

@Quick:
That's not Lightning Blue is it?! I think that's Laser blue.
Let's burn some serious rubber!
2007 MINI Cooper S (Lightning Blue), what a great little car!

Picked car up yesterday, really impressed with performance, the bi-xenon lights, the 5 colour interior lights and I drove to Birmingham at 75 to 85 MPH for 150 miles and averaged 40.4 MPG!!!! The same journey in my old MCSC I would get around 26 to 29 MPG. Happy days!

Ahhhh!

Serves me right for not clicking on the thumbnails, I suppose? But as I'm seeing the car in the flesh tomorrow I couldn't see the point.

And I thought you were just being a bit random!
