England New To Mini - Anything I Should Know...

Hi everyone, after deliberating for a while I've finally gone ahead and bought myself a mini, its a 55 plate Cooper in hyper blue and I collect it Monday - might sound sad but I'm actually rather excited! Previously had Renault Clio's for the past 6 years so thought I needed a change, any advice or useful info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys

Well your 55 Plate has a warranty, and therefore it is as such "Cherished"

They are great cars, enjoy

Sig Coming Soon..

Hyia and welcome - I'm down to the last week of waiting for my 3rd MINI, and I can't wait so you're not sad at all.

Welcome to the mad, mad, world that is MINI

Word of advice get yourself out on runs ASAP - there are clubs N, S , E and W in the country.

I had my MINI nearly three years before I met the New MINI Severns lot and I just wish I had met them so much earlier!!

You will enjoy the sheer buzz of owning this fab car

I've just got my R56 (new shape/model) yesterday and I can't believe that I am JUST as excited as the first one I got three years ago
