Petrol, congestion charge, tax, servicing (I could go on) but ultimately, could not justify the cost, considering I prefer driving into London than the trains. So, some input on my selection would be appreciated...

Mini Cooper D
Astro Black
Chili Pack
Aerodynamic kit
white indicators
white viper stripes
17" flame alloys
black and white cream line seats
WHite cream interior line
piano black dash
chrome line interior
DAB radio
HIFI system

Thoughts welcome!
Many thanks.

I'm new to the site too and am doing pretty much the same as you, although I'm selling an older 911/964. Very sorry to see the Porsche go, but I won't miss running 2 cars and the bills that go with Porsche ownership!

I spent a few hours at the Mini dealer yesterday and I think I'm going with a Cooper S, similar spec to what you've decided on but without the Chrome, all Piano black and with the anthracite headlining and LSD, black cloth with maybe the red leather seat bolsters, not decided on that yet. I drove one and I wasn't disappointed at all, thought it was a great car and a worthy replacement for the 911.

Good luck with selling yours and I hope it goes smoothly!
