I had to pull the trigger a little sooner than I wanted too (I couldn't take a chance on somebody else buying it before me), but I just bought a 2005 DS/White Cooper 'S'. It is exactly what I needed - sport package, LSD and no sunroof.
Let the modding begin (again!)

Cool, congrats!

Sorry though. . . you just can't change the name :-P.

Bout time !!!

Now all you need is a paint bucket with some black paint in it ...

Congrats. We all knew you couldn't stay away for long.

So where is the horsepower going to come from this time around? GTT? Dinan?

And I agree, can't change the user name!

I thought you bought one of the '06 Competition Editions? I'm having trouble keeping up.

I had an '05 JCW ('Tobias') that I was going to sell so I could take deIivery of a Chili Red CE. I had one earmarked for me that we had acquired from MINI Brossard, but I sold it before I ever drove it. Then I sold 'Tobias' to purchase a Lotus Elise, which I still have. But the Subaru I got for a winter car I have just sold so I could get the '05 I just bought. Still with me

?

No wonder it was tough to keep up. I remember the Elise now.

Since buying Velveteen I am relatively stable with my daily drivers. It's the collector car changes that confuse people. I think I'm OK for a while with the MINI CE and the Bug Eye when it's done.

Does this mean we'll see you at Rally in the Valley in either an Elise or MINI?

I'm working on it. You may find this odd and surprising, but I can never stick with a decision for more than 10 minutes!

Seeing has I've proven to myself I have to have one, I'll be keeeping this MINI a few years. I would love to drive the Lotus out to RITV, but I may let it go in June - it would be the sensible thing to do, but everytime I get to take it for a drive (last Sunday was the most recent) I find I change my mind.

I lost my Dad's boat anchor when the rope snapped two summers ago. One of them would make a suitable replacement.

Once you get the Mini fever there is no cure.

faster,Tobias! · Jan 15th, 2008, 11:25 PM

You've got that right. People look at me like I've lost my marbles when I tell them that the steering response in a MINI is in the same league as the Lotus, it doesn't give up a thing to it in the 'fun to drive' department, and of the two, it is much more comfortable road car (though people usually believe that bit)
