newbie alert :) cooper S

Hi all...
just joined up seeing as i am now a mini owner, the site looks pretty damn good so far so hopefully it will help me with my lack of knowledge with the newer mini's as i have only had mine 3 days
absolutly love it so far, incredibly fast compared to my first car which was a little 1.2 clio and definatly built better!

right here is a few pics, not the best quality as there from my phone but i will take some better ones today after a good wash.



and my previous car:



loving the mini so far, build quality is so much better than the clio and just a little bit faster
insurance is a tad more too seeing as i'm only 20

Insurance is a bugger. You may notice a difference in petrol consumption over your Clio over the next few days! When I got my MCS I think I filled it up 3 times in the same week.

Congrats on your new MINI. I have a MCS, & before that I had a 1.6 clio and the MCS is a far better car, its a lot more fun! I am sure that you will enjoy driving your MCS!

Hope you got a good deal from Motorhouse ! Bet they gave you about 25 quid for the Clio

Congrats on the new MCS

You made the better choice...could have gone 172/182 for that extra .3 of a second quicker (which isnt particulary noticable on the road) and you have quality and you know you'll still get a decent price back for it when you come to sell on. congrats
