Whoohoo! Nylo Congrats on one lovely Checkmate! Thought you were leaving MINI for good when I saw that you we're selling your old beauty! Soooooo lovely! Congrats. Look forward to meeting you at the Topgear Run! x

Welcome to the club Carolyn - looks really fab. Been giving mine a good clean today - I think you inspired me

almost 18 months on and still loving mine to bits (too much - is that possible!?!). Enjoy.

See you at TG.

Nah, definitely possible

Especially when it's all cleaned up, it's just such a cracking colour

I can't wait to get out for a good spin in mine to find a good backdrop for proper pics

wildchild jules · Feb 10th, 2008, 10:02 PM

Don't you love the fact the lights just turn off automatically?? Its a really silly thing but just makes life easier. I had the folding wing mirrors on my MCS - loved them!!!!

Car looks fab honey - enjoy it!!!!!

I love opening them up when I'm just driving off, its like a plane taking off with the sound of the supercharger.

vickietots · Feb 10th, 2008, 10:05 PM

Posted in the other thread, but thought I would put something down in here too!! I love theolding wing mirrors, I have them on mine! So jealous about the Recaros, look forward to seeing the pictures of them!! I can see a modding future just round the corner!

Enjoy it!

Sportspack Mark · Feb 11th, 2008, 11:36 AM

Just out of interest what happened to the checkmate wheels?

SO DP 1 Bav 0

kinda regret not buying out of Prentices now

wonder if they would make me some plates up and give me a tax disc holder and dealer sticker

nylo · Feb 11th, 2008, 04:26 PM

Mark, DP very kindly swapped the flame spokes for a set of S Spokes for me to put on to my DS S when I was trying to sell it, putting the R105s on to the Checkmate, which is why I was spotted a few times driving round with the "old" S Spokes on my DS for a couple of weeks

NickyJ · Feb 11th, 2008, 05:37 PM

It's gorgeous Carolyn

Looking forward to seeing some more pictures soon
