After 4 years of ogling...it's finally on its way! - UPDATE She's here!

I've finally done the deed! My convertible Cooper is on its way . Estimated delivery date is 4-6 weeks. Nicely timed for a superb Summer. Haven't gone over board on the extras - I reckon the car will be fantastic anyway. It's in nightfire red which I'll have to keep clean to maintain the glow.

Of course, I'll be sorry to say goodbye to Boris. My indi blue cooper & I have had great times since we first met in Oct 2001. And I'll have to get used to being in the public eye. I had Boris's windows tinted so it was quite cosy inside. In a few weeks time everyone will be able to see what I'm doing when I'm driving .

After nearly 7 years of happy motoring in my Indi Blue Cooper I have just said goodbye.

And now its hello to MYFy my Nightfire red Cooper convertible.
She's got full black leather
Pepper pack
Silver interior trim
Sports seats & sports steering wheel
& a few other bits & pieces.

I know I haven't done her justice in the photos. Sadly the great Summer weather broke on the day I picked up my car. As soon as the sun comes out I'll take some photos & you'll see how she glows. Meanwhile here are a few photos from my phone
