While looking for a photo opportunity down at Customs look what I found ... Could this be the first Gold Cooper in Sydney?

interesting, still i reserve judgement till i see it in real life

I don't like the look of it in pictures. I too will reserve final judgement until seeing it in real life.

I think you should find new hobbies rather than snooping around Customs for photos.

I see that you were there to get photos of your own MINI. That is very acceptable. That should teach me to find out a bit more before I make sarcastic comments.

Have fun.

Great spy snap - tell me how is it that they lets you nosey around. Surely they don't let people have access to the vehicles before they clear customs.

PS When did you take the photos? My BRG was delivered on the 21st and I'm still waiting.

Was fairly to easy to track down ... Sydney Ports lists all ships and the exact dock they are at ... Customs is essentially a wire fence with barbed wire ... wandered through a carpark (technically private property) and was about 6 feet from the cars (but with a fence in between)

I was just lucky that my MINI was at the front of the queue, so I could recognise the tracking number printed on the paperwork hanging inside

Must admit sounds a bit desperate though

Desperate - not to me it doesn't. I spent over an hour at the dealers talking about various things last Friday because my car was due on Friday to be delvered from Sydney to the dealer. Although I just happened to have my digital camera with with it was a no show.
