Hi everyone!

I bought my MINI 6 months ago and found this (great) forum just before Christmas.

I though I could share pictures of my MINi with you...

Happy Motoring everyone!

Lovely car!

Think you need to iron your bum by the creases on the drivers seat though!

lol I know about the driver's seat leather... It was like that when I bought the car... I'm still waiting to get my new one but it's been back-order for 5 months...

At least, it's winter here and I don't mind getting salt and dirt on it...

Great looking car / pics - have you considered upgrading the MINI knob on the gearshift to a Whalen shift machine. I got mine about 10 days after taking delivery of the car and I (and my wife) have found it really improves the gearchange.

It does improve the gearchanges by which way??

The only gearchange problem I have is when it's below -20oC outside and my whole gearbox is frozen... This is driving me nuts...

It's a solid metal shifter (much heavier than stock) so makes the gearchange much smoother. It's also a work of art as Doug will engrave anything you want on it

Very nice.I'm guessing you can't see the drivers seat bottom when you'r driving anyway.
