Eee by gum, lad!

I was driving back up 'ome to Bratfud from Sarfampton... where I work through the week... I pulled into Leicester Forest East Services on the M1, had me a KFC (Mmmmmmmmm...) and then was headed back out onto the motorway... and what did I spy? A car transporter FULL of our delightful little MINI's!! There were Coopers and 'One's' a plenty... ranging from silver, through red and blue....

My friend I was giving a life up north to was not a fan before... he is now!

I tell you... the little MINI looks fantastic! The Daytone wheels look amazing! Filling the arches nicely! Mmmmmmm... To be honest, the boot spoiler that a lot of people do not like that comes with the Chili pack looks fantastic!

I just thought I would make you all jealous! I spent about 10 minutes climbing all over that damned truck looking at all of the cars... he he! arty:

Right... I am knackered... 300 miles after a 10 hour day at work ain't much fun, I tell you...

"I dream of MINI"

I know it does not sound too glamourous... but it is the closest I have been able to get to the finished product yet!

I was speccing up my car, and was curious to see what Indi Blue looked like in the flesh... so to speak... and there were two examples, right in front of me! How could I not 'ave a butchers!?

It has to be said, initial impressions were fantastic! Even down to the tail pipe (exhaust), which was styled on... erm... I think it was a budweiser can (I read that somewhere... I think)... Those Daytona wheels look fantastic with their 195/55/16 Goodyear tyres... and the disc brakes all around look great!

The interiors with both the leather and cloth/leather trims look fantastic... I just hope I did not leave too many nose prints on the glass!

Can't wait to get behind the wheel... 8)7

I really am jealous as it might still be another 8 months or more before I see a MINI "in the flesh". The fiirst MINI I see could be the one I will have ordered for delivery.
