My New Toy

Collected our new MCS yesterday (barely slept Fri night).

Here are some pics. Not sure if there is a need to blur the number plate but the majority of people here seem to do it so I thought I'd follow suit.

Looks very nice Leyton, hope you enjoy driving it .

It's always best to obscure your number plate if you can .

It's filthy already! Went down lots of country lanes yesterday.

It's a fairly basic spec - chili pack with auto air con and mfsw. Massive improvement on my 2001 Cooper though. Much more refined and a smoother ride (we opted not to have the sports suspension).

I did the same with suspension, its plenty hard enough for spirited driving. I fail to see the need for it to be harder, unless your planning on doing lots of trackdays.

Looks fab, the first black R56 I've seen, best colour so far I think. At least being black it means you have an excuse to clean it lots!

It was a toss up between the astro black and dark silver. Thought the AB might have too much blue in it but I think its great and glad I didn't change my mind.
