2nd: Silver/Black Cooper S on the same stretch of road as I was leaving, waved, nothing.

3rd: Dark blue (still haven't got these colours down by heart..) / White roof Cooper S on the South Eastern Freeway going the opposite way, got a big wave out of him though...

4th: A second Silver/Black Cooper S on the freeway, no wave again

See, there's 2 out of 3 MCS that didn't wave!!! So don't keep on hammering us MC drivers!!!

Agreed, the only people that I don't get waves from, in newcastle, are the MCS drivers (With the exception of Scotty of course).

All my life, I have searched for a car that feels a certain way.
Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball. Now, at last, I have found it

Called into our local dealer today to see if they had a checkmate on the floor.
No checkmate but a brand new black cooper s loaded to the beejeezus with bits.
It had jcw wheels,brakes and engine upgrade.Also had the full kit inside as well.
Leather seats,hk stereo and sunroof.
It was a seriously nice looking car.

No Checkmate or Park Lane at Klosters either Few weeks yet apparently.


Spotted an IB/W Cooper on the way in to Klosters this arvo, and another IB/W on the way home.


Some say he loves gaming and that he also loves house work..... All we know is, he's called The ScottyB!

i'm not saying that i don't like it, but is by far the craziest looking mini i've ever seen.

BTW, also spotted a Red Bull MC on chapel st, with the number plate WIINGS.
