Six of the best.

Today MINI number six arrived in my life. A nice shiny new astro black MCS.







The best bit is the 35mpg it has done over its first 50 miles a bit different to the 25mpg I am used to.

Black to the future....

Indeed, those wheels are nice enough to eat.

What are they and how many notes are they?

Chuffed to bits....TBH it was seeing the R109's on your car that convinced me to go for them.
