Talking FInally back in a MINI!

Hey guys,

Just got back from the MINI dealer and i have bought a MINI! (again). Had a MCS before but sold it nearly a year ago when my sensible head came on and bought a golf (i know) but i missed my MCS too much that i wanted it back. I have been searching for a while now and finally found the MINI for me

I have gone one better this time and found a MCS JCW which was a real treat to drive. I will be picking it up on the 1st May and can't wait!

Here is some specs and pics until i pick it up

Black II
Silver Vipers
John Cooper Works Kit
17" S-Spoke Alloy Wheels
Anthracite Roof Lining
CHILI Pack
Darkened Glass
Harman Kardon - Hi-Fi
Heated Mirrors/Washerjets
Limited Slip Diff
Mirror Caps in BodyColour


I also got the dealer to throw in some chrome mirror caps into the deal

Is nice again to be part of the MINI community

You went to a golf, sorry buddy but I can't imagine me doing that.
The mini looks gorgeous from the back. It always amazes me that even though their are Mini's parked on almost every street (at least in Switz) their are still some real head turners (like yours)
1st May? i bet you're counting down the days.
Congratulations.

They do seem very good there! They had a gorgeous Red/White S just before I ordered the Dooper, didnt know which way to go, even went to look at it! but ended up back at Specialist with a new order

I dont know if i will go to Specialist for my servicing needs. When i had my old S they messed up my servicing and ended up sending a letter to MINI head office (long story) but saying that some people there are very nice. Borehamwood have been good too though so i may go there.

Black Hole

Congratulations bet you cant wait, it looks fab!

I hate to admit it but great colour! I've had four black cars and always swear i'll never have another!
I reckon they should rename the colour to Black Hole as when I see them shining at the dealer I get sucked in!

Enjoy its worth the effort

Thanks guys

Getting excited now! I may be able to pick it up on Sat if the funds from the sale of my car clear in time so fingers crossed they do or i will have to wait another week!

Still trying to think what mods i can do. Spending all that money means i can't afford anything too expensive

Looks great mate, and especially a JCW. I can’t wait for the 1st of May to come either as I have to hand my dissertation in; at least you will be having an exciting day.

All the best with the new car.
