Just picked the little fella up this evening. I rather like him already!

KillerByte · Sep 3rd, 2007, 09:38 PM

Very nice!

Enjoy.

A lovely looking car there hythe!

How did you manage to spend £22K? What's the Spec?

Foxy Mini · Sep 3rd, 2007, 10:18 PM

That's lovely

I love Nightfire Red.

twentysecondstogo · Sep 4th, 2007, 05:12 AM

22K seriously? Blimey that is some spec!

Looks great though, and nice to see the spots on the doopers at last! Took me 4 months to get mine.

hythe · Sep 4th, 2007, 05:25 AM

Erm, it's got pretty much everything except Comfort Access, I think. Worked on the basis I wanted just a shrunken version of my Alpina, so has the SatNav, Bluetooth/USB, DAB, upgraded speakers, heated everything, plus the cosmetic bits you see.

The car looks great £22k is a lot of money, enjoy the driving

Love it! It looks very classy and heritage! Beautiful!

Harpo · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:05 AM

You could have had mine for £20k!

humph · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:13 AM

Looks great, although I would have gone for 17" wheels. Think you succeeded in your aim to "have a mini Alpina" though, she looks really classy.

andrewcregan · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:31 AM

Glad to see you went with the Bridge alloys - they look the business :-)

ALD0 · Sep 4th, 2007, 09:29 AM

Very nice, liking the roof combo with Knightfire red, look classy

I would of had the comfort access too though

Greenie1 · Sep 4th, 2007, 09:49 AM

I hope you are keeping it for a few years, 22K cooper - blimey!
Looks good.

hythe · Sep 4th, 2007, 03:59 PM

Thanks for the comments, guys (and gals, if applicable)...

If I'd gone for bigger wheels (though in South London, I figured it was a liability), I might have gone for Alpinas. Was torn on the Comfort Access, but in the end I decided I was just being lazy.

£22k IS a lot for a Dooper, but I'll be keeping it for a few years yet and the depreciation's nothing compared to a £78k Alpina!!!

Harpo · Sep 4th, 2007, 04:00 PM

Lend us a fiver.

andrewcregan · Sep 4th, 2007, 04:28 PM

I know this isn't the right forum, but what on Earth is an Alpina?

David King · Sep 4th, 2007, 04:30 PM

Modified BMW. Same as Brabus with Mercedes

85NIXMIN · Sep 4th, 2007, 05:35 PM

Very nice... I like your roof

hehe
