7 days until We go and collect our new Cooper Chili!

Cant wait!

Thats excellent!

You will have to post some pictures up when you get it, what colour and spec you go for?

GAX857W · Sep 28th, 2007, 10:29 AM

Astro Black - All over
Chilli
Visibility pack
Ipod connector
Chrome int+ext

Our previous car died a horrible death and we needed to get a new one. The spec is a compromise really as the hire car is going back and this car was new there and waiting for us really.

I would have preferred the Auto Air con and leather heated seats but as its for my wife and my weekend play thing I couldnt push for the extra wait until early Nov! Plus J needs transport!

Still its a sweet little motor that will be tinkered with trhoughout time! I aim to get it on Anthracite wheels at some point!

Hey - that means you should have got your Mini today. Me too! Collected my mellow yellow/black Cooper this morning. How's yours?

GAX857W · Oct 7th, 2007, 03:38 PM

Its superb.

I hope you are happy with yours as we are. The Ipod connector hadn't arrived so it will need to go back in for that.

I hav noticed a couple of things

1 The engine whacks out a lot of heat? whilst showing my parets the car it seemed very hot. especially wierd as it had not been driven in anger or above 3000 revs.

2 The front wheels are already covered in brake dust. Another weird thing as it hadnt been driven in anger or above 3000.

Is this the norm???????

Hi, hope you enjoy the car!

I can't comment on the engine heat as I have a Cooper D, but as for the brake dust I noticed that when I collected my car a fortnight ago there was loads of brake dust on the fronts. After a few days I I gave them a quick wash and it hasn't been as bad since.
