1st of March MINI Piccies!

[Grimbo]

Lets have lots and lots of piccies tomorrow!!!

I cheated, hehe.. popped to the dealers on the way home from work and took a camera snap of my car
Looks stunning, and its surrounded by about 40 other little beasties all raring to go. I'll make sure I take my proper camera down tomorrow and get a shot of all of them



hehe! MINE!!!!

You definitely win the prize for first pic of an 05 MCS!

[Hersheykiss]

Ahhhhh - but but but it's not the 1st March yet so it doesn't count!!!! Heehee!

Seriously, the car looks fantastic (even in the dark fuzzy picture! ) so it will look amazing in the daylight! I really am jealous of you 1st March people!

Come on people, don't be shy with your pics!

[Grimbo]

I win

It did look amazing tho, can't wait til tomorrow

If I post the pic again in 4 mins, will it count?

[Hersheykiss]

LMAO. Oh go on then, seeing as it's a special day!

Anyway, shouldn't you be in bed, young man! Got to make sure that you are fully alert when you pick it up!

Just think you will be going through this excitement again in a few weeks!

[Grimbo]

! I know

And Louise is just as excited about tomorrow as I am

[northandy]

looking forward to seeing all these new shiny cars today, i'd forgotten it was new reg day today !....

[Grimbo]

Got mine and some proper pics now
What a completely amazing little car!!! Its soooo good!

[Hersheykiss]

OMG! It really does look amazing! Now get out there and get driving!!

[Grimbo]

I'm going, I'm going!!
Its AMAZING to drive!! Feels loads livlier than the 04 model I test drove (and no, I've not been above 4500 rpm!) I'm used to driving a Golf Mk4 GTI, and this just handles and corners sooo well.. Its on rails!
I asume its the LSD that DRAGS it round the corners.. if thats it, its brilliant!

Glad I picked the Bullets, they look brill.. not one other CooperS hatch at the dealers had them on I guess you have to read Mini2.com to find out about these things so you can pester the dealer order em

Had to do my part and get some pics up though

Fantastic.... that looks great, i love those bullets, they are

[jon vital]

Thanks for posting those, looks just like what I'll be picking up this time next week,

[tnoy66]

Looks great Grimbo, glad you're happy with it

Now either your dealer is 5 mins from your house or you've already washed it........that back end is way too clean

[Grimbo]

! Dealer is 5 mins from my house
Its really FILTHY now!

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!

Just got back from a 3 hour drive!

They put the wrong wheels on the car though I’m not a happy bunny! Should have had s-spokes and they gave me bullets. I'm waiting for a call from them to let me know when they can change them so all is not lost I guess. Everything else is there that I ordered thank god.

I've noticed something which other new owners might be able to help me with though. When I went to fill the car up with petrol I could smell a really strong burning smell (no smoke or flames) . This was coming from the exhaust very worried about putting any petrol in it but I filled it up anyway.

Every time I get out of the car I can still smell it. Should this be happening because it’s new and just needs a while to settle down or is it about to blow up on my drive??

I'd post pics but its raining and the car is now covered in dirt ....can't believe how dirty the back window is!
