Hello everyone!

After endless searching (and research!).... Yesterday, I was originally going to buy a refurb MCS (04) from the official Mini garage and couldn't help feeling that it wasn't a decent deal (Their computers and phone were up and down all the time... is this a common occurrence? Also, their website's database online is never up to date!). After trying to get through for ages, I gave up and looked through the papers to see if there was a better deal. Lucky enough there was since it is on a '05' plate at a garage 15 miles from where I live and had more extras than the one I wasn't too sure to buy from the official garage!

I seriously admired the car when I got there, looked inside and took it on a test drive. I just have to have it. It's fun to drive, practical, big-ish to stick my snowboard in (I need to get a roof rack in a few months time then!).. It's a tight car!

The specs? MCS, 17" Alloy wheels, Sat nav, climate control, parking sensors (you can turn that off right?

cruise control and a nice british dark chrome-y flag on the roof. The price? £12.5k... and I slapped a deposit down already.

I'll stop here because my brain is literally about to explode after looking for a couple of weeks.... Can't wait for the fun to begin now!
