My grandad has a Nuvola Blue Alfa. You can't find it on the car park IF the weather changes. Although being an Alfa its possibly a good thing.

It has devalued another £50 by the time you find it.

Blue, or, green or silver, or PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To tell you lot that I've got my new Cooper! Picked it up last Saturday, been without a MINI since the beginning of December, when my gave my Cooper back to the dealer!

New car is red and black, has the optional hi-fi sound system, and more and is very lovely! Just wish the birds would stop cr*ping on it ,that my iPod would play in the car and that I had more time to drive it!

Hope to catch up and do some runs this year.

Best to all

Collected my R56 MINI COOPER today!
Stunning

Very pleased with it.
My dealer(Kevin O'Leary's Cork,Owen-MINI Salesman)was outstanding,no rushing etc.

A truly wonderful car,Smiles defo won't come off Sean or my own face(Bought between myself and my brother) for a long time to come
Takes a bit of getting used to,so many things different and stuff we didn't have in our last MINI(which we found very hard to say goodbye to I must say,Great car.). Build quality is on a whole new level.
More photo's tmro of interior etc.(as asked already by miniclub members!). Done!
Back to the driving and working stuff out

Congratulations...the waiting is over!

43 hours still for me

Not that I'm counting or anything.

These Chilli cars are like buses, none then a string in quick succession.

Looks fantastic ! Congrats.

Michael Strachan · Jan 7th, 2007, 12:57 PM

Congrats on the car mate, love the interior, am waiting on virtually the same interior but with chequered dash, anthracite ceiling and satnav, on a Dark Silver MCS.
I gotta wait until mid March for the first ones in Oz.

Chris.F · Jan 7th, 2007, 03:03 PM

Just picked up MY Chilli/White Cooper and its FANTASTIC. Automatic Lights, Wipers, Xenons...Power wash is so cool........exceeds my expectations. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Tomorrow!

Got to be the youngest owner to date in uk at least.

Only negatives are no ashtray on delivery (Coins only!), i-pod link in but not upgraded on software as garage hadn't got it in time, slight tiny buffer mark on bonnet. I'm so excited!!!!!

Chris.F · Jan 7th, 2007, 03:41 PM

Hope you like it? I do.......

More to follow.

I know I'm very lucky, baloons courtesy of Mum & Dad,

Cover the dealer, made it special, enjoyed opening it.

MiniMpi · Jan 7th, 2007, 09:04 PM

Stunning Chris!
Congrats,the wait is finally over for you(and me!).
Cover is a great idea on collection alright.
My parents were dead impressed as I was.
You are right about the headlight washers,totally mental at night :-)
I didn't get an ashtray either(same reason as you,coins only!),I think there is a post on here about that though.
Happy motoring in your R56.
Fergal.

Miss Marmite · Jan 9th, 2007, 10:17 AM

Wow! They went to way much more trouble than they did for mine, mine wasnt even inside the dealership, got to say I was very disappointed with the way it was handed over.

Lovely car Chris, looks great!! Shall keep an eye out for you

congrats and Happy Birthday!

Saw another SS yesterday, S though not cooper, no bonnet stripes. Not too keen on them without bonnet stripes.

I love MINI, Laura · Jan 9th, 2007, 10:32 AM

I saw a SS Cooper S in a very small village near York! It looked lovely!
