Well they say never do anything on the spur of the moment, but i have!

I thought I would be driving my EB/W MCS JCW for about 10 years at least. But after just three years i have been tempted by another MINI. Walked into Alto at Artarmon on last Wednesday and spoke to Sean Williams who is just the greatest guy (yes he did me a great deal, but he also supports clubMINI and even bank rolled the MINIkhana perpertual trophy for the Club) I spoke about a spec on a MINI I had been thinking about and he said "You won't believe this but i have that exact spec arriving tomorrow, to go on the showroom floor." My jaw dropped.

Today I sealed the deal and in about 2 weeks because i am having a couple of things fitted to it and its my birthday in 2 weeks

, I will pick up the following.

MINI Cooper S Chilli
Chilli Red/White
Chrono
Chrome interior
JCW engine and brakes
DSC
Anti theft Alarm
Window tinting
Recaro seats, includes full leather front and back and heated seats
Interior surface Anthracite (roof lining and dash)
Rain sensor and auto headlights
Monte Carlo lights
Bonnet stipes (my girls still can't get over that one)
Body kit front and side skirts (not sure about the rear bumper, I really need to see a good photo of a rear bumper with the body kit, has any one got one?)
Anthracite bonnet scoop
Web alloy wheels on 17's
iPod connection

I am stoked

I have photos of the new MINI but not with the body kit, air scoop or wheels so when I pick it up I'll post them.

Now back to work to pay for this beautiful piece of machinery

Congratulations Vic

Wow what an awesome spec! you must be chuffed! Can't wait to see some pics

MickyD · May 6th, 2006, 05:05 AM

NICE spec

Baker · May 6th, 2006, 05:11 AM

Great spec, congrats!!

Thats pretty much what I'd go for if I was looking at a new one, prob minus the JCW and chrono (oh, and in PW/B

)

gazah · May 6th, 2006, 05:17 AM

WOW... Congrats Vic!

That's a damn fine spec, soooo many goodies!

ps. If the trade price is too hard to swallow, just strip out the old EB & leave it for the track

[you'd be the 3rd on the clubMINI committee]

Actually thought about making it a Targa car but then I would really need a fairy godmother (amazing what a health scare does to you Gary

So what you're saying is that your choice of spec is, in fact, nothing like his?

Congratulations Vic.....

If you're referring to the aero body kit, what sorts of photos do you want of the rear bumper, I could get some for you...

Hi Mate

Yeah OK, Aero kit, you guys are so pedantic, Cherry means Chilli and Body Kit is old man speak for Aero, OK

Any photos of the rear bumper Aero Kit would be great, just not sure if it looks to my taste, so before signing up for another grand I'd really like to see one

Thanks

Vic

Tit · May 6th, 2006, 09:45 AM

Standby...it's dark now, but I may have some old shots...

robbo mcs · May 6th, 2006, 10:07 AM

Hi Vic,

Congrats

Sounds like a nice car

I hope you are actually going to get time to drive this one, and put a few km's on it

Cheers

Robbo

Tit · May 6th, 2006, 10:11 AM

I personally like the shape of it....but the grille is actually a pretty average metallic silver sticker with black dots...some of the shots in here are of when it didn't have the sticker on it...it looks good from afar....but don't look too close...

Obviously mine will look a little different to the one your'e considering because mine are colour coded...of course - if you haven't fitted the body kit yet, you could consider getting it colour coded while your'e at it!

Recently BMW Adelaide honoured a warranty claim from me for those stickers because they went a crappy looking brown colour and had started peeling...that's in less than 1 year...

Nice one Vic

You've joined the ever growing club of second timers

Oh, and the Recaro's are awesome - especially the bot warmers

Tit · May 6th, 2006, 10:25 AM

Hmmm.....seats that are actually comfortable.....
