United-Kingdom Pictures Finally!!

Hello All

Had the Dooper for two months now so I thought it was about time that I posted some piccies and gave some feedback!

Driving: Great is the only word I can use, the engine is smooth (bit noisy but it is a diesel!) bags of torque and a lot quicker than I thought it would be, the chassis is great and the 17" wheels and hard suspension combine to give great handling (the ride is a little hard but no where near as hold as my old Z4) Gearbox is great as well

Economy: IF driven carefullyI have been able to get 55+MPG but as i'm enjoying the handling and the punchy little engine I am running at 47 MPG which I think (baring in mind my 'spirited' driving style) is fantastic

General: I had a bit of a concern with the cream coloured interior and true enough the drivers seat picked up some blue from jeans pretty quickly but was easily cleaned. I think it looks brilliant!

The boot is a bit smaller than I would like but i've still managed to fit a TV in the back with the seats dropped so it wasn't a huge problem.

Another positive is how much better you are treated on the road, people actually let you out at junctions in MINIs

My only gripe is a ratlle from the drivers side dashboard but this isn't too bad yet, and seems to go away when the car is warmed up (cabin not engine)



Without a doubt, highly recomended!

Anyway onto the pictures......
