Does having 17"s affect any mechanicals? Im sure I heard somewhere that with the last Mini and bought 15s and went straight with 17s, you knacker someting or other.

What were they thinking about - ah well.

Red Line here we come!

LMAO - almost forgotten about that show.

Me, in a MINI, at 3am, with 1250 miles on the clock ..... Has no one thought of the consequences ?

Thanks ever so. I love it and dead thrilled with it. The colour is superb !

wiggis · Dec 22nd, 2006, 04:08 PM

Beautiful !

The silver and black cooper in your gallery looks almost identical to mine - only the wheels are different .. !

Congratulations.

smartbomb · Dec 22nd, 2006, 06:46 PM

I loved the silver and black classic, but the Cooper I collected today is just fantastic ! The blue looks superb and really rocks.

SteveBrass · Dec 22nd, 2006, 08:26 PM

it's a cracker - congrats.

smartbomb · Dec 23rd, 2006, 03:17 PM

Thanks ! It's stunning and I love it !

MiniMpi · Dec 25th, 2006, 01:23 AM

Beautiful colour!
Enjoy your R56......just 11 more days for me!

smartbomb · Dec 25th, 2006, 11:02 AM

It's well worth the wait.

Hi

Picked up my Red cooper/white roof, chili pack with the red part leather interior just a few days before the big C

It's absolutely fab & having owned the previous Cooper it's a vast improvement on what was already a fantastic car.

As someone else has said, the ambient lighting is a cool touch. Waiting to put my 17" flame alloys on & will then post some pics (if I can work out the technology)

South Shore Lad · Jan 3rd, 2007, 09:28 PM

Hi,

another newbie here (my first post on the forum).

Picked up my Cooper in December.

Love it to bits.

Anyone fancy nursing a new guy around forum etiquette etc?

I live in a sunny Lancs seaside resort (guess which one and hence guess the well known local dealership!)

A relative newcomer myself. Loads of good advice and generally nice people on here.

Playing your game its Blackpool, Woodmans and a friend for Popey

A fellow seasider. His is the very expensive looking blue mini with every bit of kit known to man.

South Shore Lad · Jan 4th, 2007, 04:26 PM

Thanks everyone.

Aye, I'm a Blackpool resident and Woodmans is the place (could have said that though in the first place eh!).

I've actually been lurking around these forums since R56 launch day, so I'm familiar with some of the names.

I've been thinking of going on that run, with my lad, planned for the end of the month (Woodmans/Trough of Bowland/Clitheroe) so I guess I'll meet up with some folk from the NW if I did.

Still finding my way round the car - have only just discovered that if you switch off with sidelights on then they stay on with a chime reminder (have been used to switching off on dipped and the whole lot then goes out when you leave the car).

Don't worry - I'm usually quicker on the uptake than this!!

Cheers

Thats surely called stalking and could possibly get arrested

Ever thought of joining MI6 or should it be M56?
