Hi,

I picked up my Cooper S today after a 4 week wait. I just love this car, definitely a car built for enthuisiastic drivers.

To cut a long story short, I ran into another Cooper S about 6 weeks ago, and fell in love with the car.

I took the opportunity to test drive a car from my local dealer. They kindly gave me the car for 24 hours. I returned it the next day with 500km on the clock, mainly on windy backroads, up and down mountains etc. I felt a little guilty about the 500km, but I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The dealer was happy, they knew it was only a matter of time .....

Picked up the car today. Cooper S, BRG, white roof, DCS, 16" light wheels. Passed on all the other options (they dont make you go faster!).

I intend to get the works kit (if and when it is released).

My daughter who is 9 did much of the test drive with me. She is in love with car more than me! She allready is trying to talk me into keeping the car so she can have it when she gets her license. She has taken to calling the car "Maddie", and speaking to her like a friend, encouraging her to behave and go faster. Therefore, Maddie it is!

Congrats on the car and welcome to the board

After telling Melody (my other half) your story about the 500km, she exclaimed that "you were a man after her own heart "

Are you able to come along on the 16th??
Would be great to see another BRG supporter... see thread
