Australia New Mini owner in Melbourne

Hi All,

This is my first post, let me first say Hello to everyone here. "Hello". I just became a Mini Cooper owner overnight and in the future I will be asking alot of silly questions, so please be with me. I am from Melbourne, so if you see me, give me a wave

2007, MY05 Mini cooper S in Pepper White and black roof (+runroof)

I test drove both R53 and R56 and I found although the R56 is more refine and quieter than the R53, I still like the exteria design of the R53. Plus the runout sale on the R53 makes it even more atrractive and hopefully the last of the R53 will prove more reliable than the new design R56. However I love the interior of the R56, oh well. can't have everything

Hello and welcome to MINI2.

Congrats on your car, sounds great. I shall keep my eyes open for you.

I think the best place for accessories in Melbourne is err, probably ummm, Sydney!
Depends on what you're after!

Yes, have a look at clubMINI.com and come along for a drive!!!

Welcome to the pleasures of being a Mini Owner, shinchan!

I have had mine for just over 3 weeks now, and I STILL cannot get the sh*t eating grin off my face!

Cheers

Tony

Mostly cosmetic stuff for now. Also is there an option to get a foldable key for the mini?
