Was it worth the wait...........

Without a shadow of doubt! it's a fantastic car, far better than my old "ONE" Yeah i bypassed the cooper and went straight for S. After all the signing my life away for agreement this and agreement that etc It was time for a drive. It was like being a ten year old at Xmas and getting the toy of dreams!

Clearly as it was Manchester, i got in adrove 1/2 a mile and got stuck in traffic until that road lead to the joy that is the M60. time for a blast, being careful not to give it loads, (trust me i wanted to) gently at first to feel the power from a standing start. Boy it's great!! I just had a premenant grin on my face. I took it in town at night to see what it was like drive stopping and starting. Still great!!

The photos should come along later on tonight.

All I can say from first impressions are excellent. Everything works, and i even got a a bag of cleaning stuff thrown in too. look out for pics later

Well she's a Chilli Red with Black roof,
Chilli Pack,
HiFi,
Darkened Windows,
Flame Spoke alloys
Black Leather punch
Storage pack
Auto Climate control.

And goes like stink!!!! You see i've never really gave my mini's a name other than alf, as that was part of it's reg, i'm not sure anything really fits with the letters POWLM (in no particular order)

Any more ideas?
