Wee.... I've got my R56 today at about 11am AEST at Kingsway MINI Garage.
Delivery was smooth, I even met up with PM Mike.

Anyway I've done about 100+km so far so good no problems. Although the car is still learning the way I drive so gear change can be a bit funny as it's a Auto. Other than no probs very happy about it... the only problem is the weather today was a bit Melbourne.. so the car is in a yucky state.

Oh if you guys are wondering what I'm driving here's the spec:
Cooper S Chilli Pack
Auto Transmission
Sparkling Silver
Black roof and stripes
17" Crown Spokes
Lounge Leather
Sat-Nav
iPod Integration
and the others are included in the Chilli Pack

REMEMBER TO WAVE WHEN YOU SEE ME

oh, sorry guys about no pictures. But i'll take some when I've washed the car and the weather is sunny. I won't be driving the car for a month though sadly... as I'm going overseas for the holidays. But after I'll definitely look forward to a drive with the boys

im_dave · Jun 13th, 2007, 04:05 PM

Oooo... sparkling silver? Nice.

Paul_T · Jun 13th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Congratulations! Nicely specced to! Have to be happy with that!

bugiz · Jun 13th, 2007, 10:35 PM

I've sort of grown attached to the default one so i'm keeping it.
I've also decided to name it after the Queen as if it wasn't for her b.day I would've got it a day earlier!!

minigolf · Jun 13th, 2007, 10:51 PM

Hmm, that's not good.

If you're going to do that, the least you could do is put a Eureka Flag on your roof.

YAY!! Congratulations.

p.s. you will not be dissapointed with the lounge leather

Michael · Jun 14th, 2007, 01:55 AM

Hey Hey, congrats on her finally coming through. Damn those public holidays!
Naming it after the Queen hey? I dunno, "Sour faced old Goat" doesn't roll off the tongue that easily!

Royalty aint to out of place though, you do have "CROWN" spoke wheels after all.

Look forward to taking a run with you soon. I'm still jealous of your seats!!!!

bugiz · Jun 14th, 2007, 09:28 AM

Hmm.. never thought of the four 17" Crown Jewels... good pick up Mike!!
Yeah thanks guys, just small reply means the world to a new owner, cheers!!
Definitely looking forward to a run with you guys!!

Yea MiniMiL, I think the lounge leather was definitely worth every buck, sorry Mike hehe... when we meet up, u'll always have a seat reserved in my Lizzy.

Oh and the iPod interface, FORGET what you read on the forum.. it's one of the best decision I've made. That and the Sat-Nav. You know how they say it's buggy and u'll lose the small cubby hole/storage compartment... not in my case... just love it!!

Again cheers guys... will definitely post pics up soon... damn this melbourne weather!!

85NIXMIN · Jun 14th, 2007, 04:03 PM
