Mini Cooper S test drive

I got to test drive a Mini Cooper S today and OH BOY! was it fantastic.I can't get over how close the gear ratio's are and the sound of that supercharger and the sport exhaust:-) ,i took it round some nice quiet country lanes with some good corners and good straights,fantastic pick up when you bury the throttle into the carpet,i wasn't just smiling i was laughing and had a strange feeling in the trouser area :-),all that DSC+T and ASC works so well and as you can imagine i will be having one,but i still love my Chilli red Mini one

Mighty Mini one,the only one

Oh, I bet you're excited!

The pick up day is the best, just eat a big meal before you go get it, because you won't get out once you're in it, not even for food!

Tell me about it mate, i have had 3 dreams where i have been driving my new car

I had a Mini one which i sold a couple of weeks ago, 34,000 on the clock, got 9 grand which i didnt think was to bad, i miss driving it so much
But hey not to long to go now. I was ment to be getting my Coop June the 1st, but they said it is coming in early, and has had 2 weeks taken off, so i am very happy!!!

I did it backwards...

Gave dealership the deposit in December 2001, got a testdrive in April 2002. Got the car in August 2002, 13,000 miles so far. Despite some niggles, still grinning from ear to ear every time I drive it.
