Hi All,

Just got back from a nice hol in Spain on the Costa Brava... NEVER SEEN SO MANY MINI's..!!! There's hundreds of 'em..!! 1's, Coopers and S's..!! The town where I stayed was Platja D'aro, and the first thing my girlfriend and I noticed was how many of them are there..!! They don't understand the "wave" thing though, they just grin like cheshire cats at you..!

Reliability on my S was A1.. not a single problem, with the return journey being done in one go, with a few petrol stops and a one hour driving break. Cruise control set at 100mph.. Aircon at 21'C Mmmm.. Nice..!!! Only thing is, I think some kind of bug has managed to get inside my drivers side door and is making a weird clicking noise.. a few days in Blighty should see him off..!!

Nige.

Wow, that must be a lot of miles. How many did you clock up?

Hopefully the clicking noise isn't a pregnant cockroach

Ola Bonjour..!!

Did around 1900 miles in the whole week, including there and back (800-900m each way)and local driving....!
Barcelona was a blast and is also full of MINI's..!
Got a great pic of my S outside the Barcelona World Trade Centre, trouble is, the pic is on a disposable jobby and I've got to try to get in on my pc somehow..lol!!
A pregnant cockroach..?? Yikes, maybe I'll let the BMW spanners find it then rather than check it out myself..LOL!!
