Hi,
I'm Steve i've just bought a MINI ONE, it's a 2005 in Chilli red. I have been looking around for ages but now i have one:D
I have just driven it back home and i am so impressed.

It has not got alloys or anything else......yet, so i'm on the lookout. I might well lower it too. Then i will look at a sports cat and exhaust a panel filter and a re-map COOOOOOOL!
I love the thing already and i'm far to old to get into this sort of thing!;)

You're never too old :D

Welcome to MINI ownership - you wont regret it, although your wallet might!! :D

Thanks for the welcome.
I drove the 40 miles home, as you do with a little trepidation....is it ok or not....what was that noise, the gearbox seems clunky etc etc etc.

I then filled it up with fuel and drove and drove so now i have done over 200 miles in the car going to Nottingham and then to Derby and on through the back lanes to Matlock and Ashbourne.
None of this was necessary i just love driving the car.

Hi there, post some pics! :)
