Back to MINI ownership! :)

Picked up my 54 plate hyper blue cooper s yesterday and i'm over the moon with it. 410 mile round trip to collect but it made for an enjoyable drive back!

I used to have a 02 JCW S then went to an S2000 now i'm back! how I missed that Supercharger whine

. Just the 1 pic so far but couldn't resist saying Hi and showing it off

It's already got a GRS intercooler and exhaust (unsure what make but it sounds great) I'll be off to see Roland soon

My thoughts entirely -bet it was a topless thing. Having been caught out in the wet a good few times I can tell you it's no fun. Never quite worked out what to do when you get water on the inside of a windscreen -bit scary really

Thanks people

I've gone back and forth with honda and Mini. I originaly went from a black year 2000 s2000 to the JCW mini, then to a blue 2003 S2000, now back to the mini! The S2000 is a superb car, but you have to be in the right mood to drive it. You really have to work the engine and gears to get the performance. It's nice to have the low down grunt a supercharger gives. I prefer the overall ownership of the Mini!

I've got a few questions though, I've got the Chrono pack (the dials where the speedo usually is, think that's right?) what are the average correct temperatures meant to be reading?
