They put that Diamond-thingy wax on it (as a freebie present, usually £250!) So I'll wash it this afternoon with the valet kit they gave me

ARRGGHH.. this car is amazing!

Arghhhh you have just ruined my day. I paid £250 for the shiny wax thing. They said it was on special @ £250 normally £350

I didn't get any freebies

Not even a cheap bottle of champagne others here have said they got

the only things i got (which was included in the price i'm sure) was the supacare packs with all the cleaning kits in and a mini backpack full of mini cleaning products. i wasn't expecting much which is just as well!

That car is LUSH!

All these Hyper Blues! It is a gorgeous colour, and I know another one that's being delivered soon in Hyper Blue, it'll soon be common!

[G2 - S]

We almost got HB but at the time wouldn't do the Aero kit in it so stuck with DS. I was a bit afraid the HB and Aero would look a bit "boy racerish" but you've proved me wrong...looks amazing!! Happy and safe driving to all.

Edit: P.S Post more pics with Aero kit please or email!

HERES MY MCS!!!!

I got home earlier today, was busy having fun driving the S! I went all the way up to a place called Selkirk near Edinburgh to get my MCS!
460 mile trip from the dealers to my house in Bristol! I stayed over at Burnley yesterday night, cos I was too late to get my OZ Superleggeras fitted, got em fitted this moring! You maybe thinking "why Burnley?", I managed to get a decent deal on the 18" OZ Superleggeras, it was en-route, and I didn't get any sleep the night before - so sleep was needed,

I was told I'd be getting S Spokes, but the car came with Bullets, which I think look great!
I sold my set today to a very sound MINI2 member.

My MCS at Dunedin Selkirk, Haugh MINI Dealership, Scotland. Thats Morris in the pic, an awesome salesman! I highly reccomend him as he knows what he's talking about and his dealership. They can get MINIs quicker than most Dealerships in the country BTW! I mine arrived in 4 and bit wks! I ordered on the 20th Jan, but waited for the 05 reg!


Side on View, this morning in Burnley pre OZ SuperL fitment, very cold morning it was too!


Back home this afternoon, with the SuperLs fitted, but my oh my how dirty is my precious?

SAT NAV in action! Tried to outsmart it 2day, but dang its clever!

Congrats lbb, glad you made it home safely
What a great way to get it partly run in
Wheels look great too.

[Ibb]

Thanks tnoy66

The drive was awesome, Scotland has some really nice scenery! I gotta go to Taunton in abit, thats 120ish miles there and back from Bristol, then gotta go to London 2mrw to show the old man my pride and joy, another guaranteed 340ish miles! Then back again to Taunton on Friday!

The car is soo filthy, soo much salt on the poor thing! Need to invest in a grill for the scoop, was unfortunate enough to fall behind one of those grit and salt deploying trucks on the motorway, a few bits of salt managed to get on the intercooler, managed to get them out with a hoover fortunately!

I have a feeling I'll be thoroughly bedded in come Sunday, hehehe
Can't wait to let rip!!!

Now that would be a pic worth seeing

I've been attacked by soooo many gritters lately
They should be banned from the road

Those wheels look the business lbb, do you mind me asking how much they were?

LoL of course not buddy, they're usually quoted for £1'250-1'350 with budget tyres in 18" spec, I got mine for £1100 also with budget tyres but good ones though by Federal, and the guys fitted them for free. www.topgear.co.uk or com, they have loadsa outlets across the country, don't go by the prices on their website, give the closest outlet near you a ring for a proper price

[Sooperlids]

Thanks for that lbb, i'll bookmark that site & take another look when I have saved a few pennies

[Ibb]

You won't be dissapoint with the wheels, they only weigh 7.5kg each The car even from my modest experiance of the std wheels felt more responsive with the SuperLs!

Need to get the car lowered mind you, guess I'll have to fit the Eibachs! Hehehe

Good luck in your quest buddy

Wheels look mint mate! That car looks fantastic

I had my car at work today and all I got was compliments. Mini is such a bizarre thing, it just attracts so much praise, people want to touch it, everyone loves it! If I'd turned up in a new model Focus I reacon everyone would have gone to sleep. Maybe get a nod if it was a new Golf GTI, but the MINI seems to really get people going.

Showed a couple of friends around it this eve, they were seriously impressed. Like me they didn't really expect the BMW-ness to be there, it being 'just a Mini' etc. One of em said he'd never been jealous of a car before, but he is now! Seems a lot to pay for a small car, but the attention to detail is incredible. Its worth every penny and it feels like a car from many classes above. It genuinely is a BMW

Hats off to BMW, they really have managed to make a car that combines fantastic looks with a chassis and drivetrain that is frankly frighteningly amazing!! The DSC has only kicked in twice, which considering the way I've been chucking it round bends is amazing.
When I had my Golf, it felt good to drive. But I've had that Mini round corners that the Golf would have rolled on, and it was still flat and limpet like. And yet, the suspension is hardly any harsher. The chassis is amazing, it really is something else! Mind, BMWs are the 'ultimate driving machine' !

Naughty I know. Only done it once.. in neutral, just REV it! The exhaust... sigh.. Most people would pay 10x this price for a car that sounded this good.. Rasping is an understatement, this is amazing!
