Hi Guys, Came across site by accident so pleased I did looks a great site

, just 11 more days to wait until I get my Cooper, always wanted one so pushed the boat out this year to get one. Only downside is all the options I had to put on, to spec it up to what my Renault Megane has on it, then still missing my keyless entry had to stop putting option on as it was going over my budget

.
But so looking forward to owning it, the 3 test drives I had just got better each time, and I like the stop and start feature, save a bit of fuel and will not have to give as much tax to tax man

.
looking forward to looking and reading the forum. Will put some pics on when I get it.

Welcome cbpete

Tell us a little more about what options you did go for

cbpete · Apr 7th, 2008, 12:29 PM

Hi, Well may of gone over the top on option I am sure I could of lived without some of them.
So I added Pepper pack, bonnet strips, auto aircon, auto lights and wipers, sports seats, cream door and dash trim, interior chrome pack, black piano trim, folding mirrors, bluetooth with USB audio, white indicators, anthracite roof lining, TLC pack and a union Jack rear view mirror cover. Think I have got it all. and some union Jack dust caps, hehehe lockable ones at that.
So it should look cool when I get it.

KenL · Apr 7th, 2008, 02:11 PM

The car sounds great.

supa-dupa-cooper · Apr 7th, 2008, 04:39 PM

Its all too easy to go overboard on options..I should know

Sounds great

bubblegoose · Apr 7th, 2008, 04:45 PM

yep... spec is the killer for me too

I spec'd my next Demo the other week, Cooper D Clubman came to £19300 & even then I restrained myself.

Your spec sounds nice tho! Congrats on the new purchase

Welcome!

Ordering a MINI is like ordering Chinese food: you always get more than you need but less than you want.

Not beening funny but I bet white wheels are a pain you will have to keep takeing them off every month just keep them from going yellow but thats my opinion

Deako · Apr 9th, 2008, 02:02 PM

We still have about 10 weeks till we get ours. The pain!!

Sounds nice, keep the site updated when you collect it.

cbpete · Apr 11th, 2008, 07:36 PM

Hi Andy, I liked the sparkling silver and thought about it myself, but had to stop spending, so Metallic paint had to be put to one side. I took my insurance down to garage today, Salesman told me mine was in the workshop been checked over. Can not wait now. Let me know how you go on and take some pics for us.

supa-dupa-cooper · Apr 11th, 2008, 07:43 PM
