MINI2

Hello fellow Aussie M2'ers!!

After trying to sell my car and looking for a right mini for what seemed like FOREVER, ive finally put a deposit on a MCS and will be picking it up this Saturday 28 May 2005

Thanks to everyone in M2 for all my nagging questions here and there about anything and everything to do with a mini. (Special thanks to Sunnybaker for offering to check out a MCS in QLD , and Todd! for all of my annoying pm's )

For $35k i picked up a 2002 model with DS, DSC, Sunroof, Xenons, Climate ctrl, cloth/leather.

Had to pay abit extra for Warranty ( worth the money imo ) , Tint, alarm and Chrome interior lining.

The only thing i dont like on the car is that is has the 16" 5 star spokes, im getting the salesman to see if there is another 2nd hand Mini that i could swap for the 17" instead. If not ill end up with a quote for a new set of wheels.

Counting the seconds til saturday - till then im planning for mods ( interior and exterior etc! ) so this definitly wont be my last post!!!

Cheers everybody!

-MF

PS. I cant stop smiling!!

Congratulations in advance, and glad I could help, in a no help sort of way

We are still desperately trying to sell our car as our MCSC is ready for delivery

all the best for now
Darrell

Awesome mate! Always a pleasure to help out.

Enjoy!

Todd

Todd! · May 23rd, 2005, 04:49 AM

Oh, yeah, where is the car from??

The Artist · May 23rd, 2005, 07:23 AM

Darrell.

At least your mini will have a friend soon. Our MCS was unloaded at the docks on Saturday. Now it'll spend the next month at Motorline, tucked away getting all jazzed up.

Great news matey

Tell Darren to put them on the back car park together

I am getting really pinged off trying to sell this damn Barina.. oh well..still got 5 weeks to do it.
I went to Motorline on Saturday to see our car, all pre delivered now, just needs a shower and some make up . So frustrating to have to drive away from it

XTREEM · May 23rd, 2005, 08:16 AM

Mine come from Motorline aswell.

MiniFr34k · May 23rd, 2005, 08:35 AM

Thanks everyone.

Todd - i got it from Slyvannia. Fairly acquainted with the owner ( we got our M3 from there ).

Now im busy searching for all sorts of bits and bobs on M2 that i can add to the car!
(btw, if u guys know where i can get my hands on glove box organiser, hot pocket, or this arm rest http://www.mini2.com/forum/attachmen...chmentid=62258 please PM me, it will save me alot of searching time )

Looking forward to the next NSW Mini gathering , cruise ( are pirate looking for hire?

) to actually meet some of you folks.

Felt the EXACTLY the same, the dealer offerd me to drive it away yesterday, but the car wasnt cleaned detailed etc ( they only got the car on Friday ). No worries, only 5 days to go.

Cheers

Todd! · May 23rd, 2005, 09:25 AM

That arm rest is the factory one from your dealer I think... it gets in the way of your shift I think.

Glove box organiser is available from one of the advertisers here, I had one, they are reallly good quality.

I have no idea what a hot pocket is....

please explain...

n00b · May 23rd, 2005, 01:28 PM

Want a set of 17" S-lites? I've got a set sitting here...lol.

Congrats on the purchase

Every Sunday there's usually a pirate or three at the Pie in the Sky on the Old Pacific Highway about 20min north of Hornsby. We usually meet around 9:30 and sit around talking garbage for an hour or two before we go for a blat somewhere.....you're definitely welcome to join us!!

(Pie in the Sky is actually marked in the UBD, it's that famous!)

yeah...I think Scotty, Kerrie and the other regulars travel quite some distance as well...I'm close as I'm near Pennant Hills...only half an hour drive...(ha...'only'....how Sydney has warped my sense of reasonable travel times....

)

MiniFr34k · May 24th, 2005, 12:55 AM

Cool - ill see if i can meet up with them on the way

beebleb · May 24th, 2005, 01:43 AM

Nice work Minifreak

I just picked mine up too, you're going to love it

Similar setup too actually, 2002 car, DSC, sunroof, xenons, leather, climate, cruise

Love the colour, DS was my other choice

hahah..jokes...you're both going to have a phat time in your new cars!!

I think Perth could be a bit of a drive to Pie in the Sky though...

...you better leave now if you want to make it by Sunday....

That hotpocket thing...there's a factory alternative

dig around I am sure you'll be able to find it.It's $30 and offer a lot more storage space.

Todd! · May 24th, 2005, 03:40 AM

Scotty will dig the link up for you, the factory one has the mini logo on it and it looks quite nice. It is easiily removed.

I paid $22 for mine, but the average everyone else paid was $26... very handy!

n00b · May 24th, 2005, 03:43 AM

The soft plastic thing not the older style cubby hole. There's 2 bits to it - one for the cubby hole/hotpocket slot then one between the gear knob thingy and the hand brake. I think I've still got the receipt somewhere for the part number.......

Todd! · May 24th, 2005, 03:49 AM

Yeah, thats what I mean... its a rubber insert with the MINI logo on it. Looks very neat and extremely handy -easy to remove and send to a friend after your mini goes
