MINI Number 2 (in the family)!

Oh what a fab day . Only having just come back from Leeds yesturday, what a treat to take the day off and go see my new baby. A brank spanking new MINI Cooper S in Astro Black with the JCW Kit. I didn't see the car when I popped in, but they sneakily parked it round the front as I was talking with the sales manager.



I managed to get some pens and complete set of cleaning kit for free. Was very happy and 100% the car was spot on. Have only done 30 odd miles (not feeling 100% myself from long partying hours at the weekend ). Also minus the JCW Spoiler. However, the salesman said last week that they were on back order because there was a problem with the varnish on them.



Since driving around, I noticed the rear apron had a slight problem with the left plastic (where the light sits) hasn't been fitted flush and moves a bit. It isn't urgent as it doesn't affect the car and I'll pop it into the dealer tomorrow.

However, I'm dead happy with the car . It turns many heads and I'm already finding it almost difficult to keep within the run-in recommendations as it's such a thrill to drive.

The other thing..... Although I'm a audiophile, I personally think the BOOST CD and Hi-Fi Speaker Upgrade is very good! People think it's strange that BMW decided to keep the system internal and not give people the freedom to change their CD player, but I've always liked it .

I think BMW will regret ditching the AB colour. Even when I mentioned the colour was going to be dropped to the salesman, he was very surprised! Here's some pic's to make you smile .
