I Spy a Mini Cooper S

A bit more of a light hearted subject than does the Cooper S handle? bad fuel consumption etc etc etc.
However many have you seen on the road.
I have now seen three since the UK launch.
Saw a DS with Chilli pack and Black roof in Farnham Surrey last nigh it was my latest sighting of the rare beastie.

I haven't seen any privately owned Ss on the roads, only demostrators
I work right next door to a dealer and I thought I would see more, but alas no...
I want to see more DS/white and a glimpse of an all DS or all EB

1 sighting - Pure Silver with Black roof in Central London. It's got the 16" X-lites (sp?) and looks good on them.Think it lives there judging by the times it's there.

Lucky s*d.

And it's one of the 24,000 colour combinations I'm thinking of.
Only 7 weeks until I have to finally decide on colour/spec and the MCS printouts keep growing (another rainforest gone)..

Arrived 19/04/03 - CR/CR MCS.
Next on the agenda - stereo upgrades?

seen hundreds.

also changed from dark silver/black as just too many around like that !

I am not a number. I am a free man.

local dealership had 3 last week - 2 showroom (DS/B + EB/W), and one fully loaded DS/B demonstrator.

I went back to drive the demonstrator on Sunday and found that they'd sold the showroom cars, so the demonstrator now = the showroom car = no test drive. . Its very much fully loaded though - sticker price @ £20,750!
