Well I have had My new motor 3 weeks now. Sorry it has taken so long to post pictures, but there has just not been the weather. Gave it a good wash this afternoon, and took some pictures, quickly followed by a blast around the Northumberland countryside 'Topless'
All I can say is what a buzz. It's my 3rd mini, and by far and away the best, LSD seems to be pretty good.
I had to pick the exterior colour around the cordoba beige interior, I think it looks fantastic. For all those of you that think it does not look all that good, well thats your opinion. I think it looks the dogs with the anthracite and chrome to set it off.
The only thing I am not too sure about is the Chrono pack! Only for the reason you can virtually see the fuel guage moving down!!!
Well enjoy the pictures.

Heres a few more of the interior!!

Andromcs · Feb 18th, 2005, 03:05 PM

It looks spectacular!

Elegant, rich......and the black will just be so easy to take care of!

Our CR/CR MCS will be picked-up on 2.23...looking forward to it. I do have a black Toyota 4Runner and I know the work involved in keeping the black looking good....but it's worth it!

That looks ace.

Mini Me GB · Feb 18th, 2005, 03:14 PM

Excellent!

beaufort9 · Feb 18th, 2005, 03:38 PM

Wow!!!, is about all I can say about those pics. I ordered about the very same build, save the chrono pack and the steering wheel location

It is great to get a sneak peak at my baby two weeks early. I hope you don't mind me lusting after yours!

In the states, black doesn't get that dirty- or so the MA told me

- but what is a little work to keep a jewel like that in high luster.

Well done, cooper_s_cab!

B9, and the others who have posted,

Glad you like it. i must admit it does get some admiring glances. I even had a woman (in her 50's) who was driving a Smart FourTwo give me the thumbs up and said 'nice looking'. Not too sure if she was talking about me, or the car!!! I think she may have been out of my league!!!

B9, drool away as much as you like. All I can say is that you will not be disapointed.

It is a pain in the ar$$e to keep clean, but it just looks fantastic when it is clean, so it is worth it.

looks

did you buy it from Bradford? Only they had one just like it in the showroom, and I thought then how good it looked

LordNikon · Feb 18th, 2005, 08:37 PM

Love the interior colour

Not a fan of the extra chrome inside, but think it works with the colours.

Cooper_S_Cab · Feb 18th, 2005, 10:12 PM

Rakey,

Purchased it from Fawdington in Newcastle, not from bradford. I am from Sheffield, but work in Newcastle, and they gave me a better delivery time. I have got it booked in on the 28th for a bit of work that need's doing to it. I was a bit miffed, as when i collected it, there was a scratch on the O/S/R wheel arch. I had to chase it up myself, the dealer thought I might let it slip. When I asked for a courtesy car, you would have thought I was asking for blood! As far as I am concerned, if it was delivered with damage, no matter how small, I would expect a loaner, not to get it collected and delivered back the next day. It took some explaining that I live/work 5 miles from the nearest village.
Sytners in Sheffield I found to be excellent. I will just have to wait and see how Fawdingtons shape up. As far as I am concerned at the moment, as soon as they have taken your cash - thats it. We will wait and see.

I was a bit dubious on the chrome interior myself, but I thought if I am going for it on the outside, I may as well have it on the inside. It looks quite subtle set along side the anthracite. But as is the mini phenomina, each one is individual.

meinamini · Feb 18th, 2005, 11:40 PM

Very suave indeed

Enjoy!!

minicabrio · Feb 19th, 2005, 01:39 AM

I have to say that would not have been my first colour choice, but I have to admit that it looks amzing......

One of the joys of owning the most customisable convertible on the market!!

I look forward to meeting you on a run....and that your warranty issues get sorted....

I have been on a few runs in the past with the last 2 minis I have owned. I have been away from work for quite a few months, so I am under a new name now.
I do look forward to going on a few runs. I went on a few of the original peaks runs and they were great fun.
Roll on the summer.
Hope to see you there.
