Calling all new mini owners in the UK who picked their cars up yesterday... lets see some pictures !!... all of us who are still waiting ( MCS due May 15th ) and had to endure driving past dealers with forecourts crammed full of shiny new minis need something to keep us going !...

Maybe your all out enjoying your new cars, and trying to get them run in asap !!... pictures/first impressions all welcome ( especially any MCS EB/W chilli pics ! )...

Been a bit busy yesterday, but after extensive test driving, I can safely say my new MCS is the nuts!

My baby

There's a clicking sound coming from one of the wheels, but I've had that on other cars, should just be something trivial and easy to fix, apart from that, it's perfect!

Indy Blue, gotta love it

Yup, I love it also.

Nothing to do with me waiting for my indi ONE ... honest

March 1st delivery! 4 hours later jeep reverses into bonnet (the waist height spare wheel on boot)! Nice.

Chili pack, xenons, climate control, sat nav. orgasm comes standard

Sorry to hear about that hexica, hope you can get it sorted thru the Jeeps insurance ASAP.

Picked up my silver/black Coop on Saturday. Have racked up 260 miles so far. Too excited to work camera at the moment

Sorry to that hexica

Nice looking car though

Is that an M3 I spy in the back ground of one of your shots???
If so you should have a chat with Washy, he picked up his M3 on Saturday!

hexica · #12 (**permalink**) Mar 3rd, 2003, 10:47 AM

Yeah M3 convertable with a hard top - different league to the Mini's performance, but just not as fun inside! But then i suppose at more than double the cost it should be bloody quick!

so what new Minis have we spotted locally?

Theres a nice new Cooper in the car park at work - Silver/Silver cooper with black viper stripes, tinted side windows 16" cross spoke alloys. I'll have to find out who's it is. That's 3 of us now.

Thanks guys... makes the wait easier ( ok so it doesnt ! )... Indi blue looks good I agree, was torn between that and Elect Blue but as the only other mini near me is Indi Blue, went for Electric. by the way nice looking car Hexica !!, sorry to hear about the dint, hope its sorted now.

Although my dealer had a lot of minis ready for the 1st, I havent seen a single one on the road yet.
