Hi guys,

I picked up my MINI from the dealership yesterday afternoon and have been driving around non-stop since! In fact, I got up at 6:30am today to take her out for spin. Brilliant car! Already have 45 miles on the car and there are no rattles whatsoever. The Sat Nav has the split-screen function and works flawlessly too.

MINI Cooper S

Automatic Gearbox (with paddle-shifts)
Astro Black
White Roof
White Bonnet Stripes
Redwood Red Leather Interior
Interior Trim Piano Black
Anthracite Roof Lining
17" Flame Spoke Alloys
CHILLI Pack
Automatic Air Conditioning
Navigation System
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Sport Suspension
Multifunction for S/Wheel
Heated Mirrors/Washerjets
Chrome-Line Interior
Front Centre Arm Rest
Front Seat Heating
MINI TLC
MINI Seal & Protect

JCW Accessories:

JCW Aerodynamic Bodykit
JCW Carbon Fibre Mirror Caps
JCW Carbon Fibre Bonnet Scoop

beautiful, the interior is amazing! if you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost of this? 23k?

nephilin · Mar 24th, 2007, 05:40 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys

Had my deposit on her since 3 Jan 2007 so its been quite a long wait. She's a week 10 build and absolutely a thrill to drive.

Paid exactly £25,328.14

Congratulations, beautiful car! Astro black is my favourite colour. With the aero kit it just looks like a rocket. Photos don't do the kit any justice whatsoever.

Saw a black/black with aero kit roll out of a dealership here in California yesterday. Looks phenomenal, especially with the redwood lounge and piano black. This car is a classic, keep it forever!

PS - local dealer wanted $3337 for a fully fitted aero kit!!

That's a lot for a MINI, but then it's a lot of MINI, if you get me.

nephilin · Mar 24th, 2007, 07:37 PM

I had a huge dilemma on the choice of roof colour - black or white. Decided on the white as I thought it was just more 'MINI'.

But I have always wanted the red interior from day one!

minibee · Mar 24th, 2007, 07:47 PM

Great looking mini there mate but just not a big fan of the red seats

David King · Mar 24th, 2007, 07:49 PM

Great specs and the car looks gorgeous!!!

How do you like the Auto box? My order is similar specs and I am interested on your opinion about the auto.

The Auto Gearbox is great. First impression so far indicates that it is very responsive and gives loads of power whenever you need it. However, I haven't dared to rev above 3,500RPM so can't really say anything definitive as yet. But I'll let you know once the miles pile on.
