Our new (old) MINI Cooper S

I mentioned this in the "Paul needs a car" thread I posted ages ago in off-topic, but out of the blue (no pun intended) we've been gifted my late father-in-laws MINI Cooper S as our own car.



I decided, if rejecting our last MINI was news worthy, so is inheriting this one, not often you get to own your wedding car.

Excellent - it's difficult to think of having something else once you're hooked even with all the problems.

Have Fun!!

It is a beautiful MINI, no doubt, and it seems that it was very well taken care of

Enjoy the car. And I'll be honest... This one looks much better than the Laser Blue '07 you had before.
