Just took delivery of my Cooper (Indiblu - Sports Package with Glass roof & sports rims) on 8th May - have tried as best as i can to be with the car.

Love the "go-kart feel" - have taken it out as hard as i dare bearing in mind that i have to "drive-in" the engine - very glad that i got the MANUAL & not the CVT - more control - love the short throw shifter.

ride is a little harsh with the sports suspension - but very precise & confident around corners at high speeds.

love the car.
did not buy the cooper s - because am waiting for the cooper s in cabrio form in 2005 - thought of just saving some money meantime & going with the cooper.

no real regrets.
am not really a speed demon.

Where's the pics? Have fun with your new Mini! I know the grin - still grinning myself - 4500 miles later.
