Well... It's here!!!

... After nearly 4 months It has finally arrived and I've taken delivery of my new Black and White Cooper S!!!.... with 1 days driving finished, I've clocked up the first 120 miles.... I'm glad to say that it is everything I imagined and more!

I arrived at the dealers this morning at 10:30 to see my new MCS sitting on their front parking area looking a million dollars... I instantly knew that I had made the right decision on colour, wheels, aero kit... It really was a great feeling.

I then just took my time at the dealers getting all the paperwork sorted out before getting on my way. The dealer was great and even had a full tank of petrol in the car

It was a great day of weather and perfect for some cruising!

The car just drives sooo well... it pulls so smoothly from the off and quickly gets through the gears while trying to keep the revs below 4500 rpm. :P The note from the exhaust is sporty without being overpowering and the whine from the supercharger is simply addictive. It was a great day getting to grips with it and driving some of my favorite roads.

The JCW seats grip you really well and very supportive... perfect for those twisty roads

... I'm loving the R90's... although now covered in a coating of brake dust

Now that it's safely parked up for the night, I thought I'd share my thoughts and these pics... There are a few more in my gallery if you are interested

Cheers

luckblackbird · Sep 7th, 2004, 08:09 AM

very very niccceee....

JCW seats are burning...great choice...how much you' v spent for them. I planning to buy, it is arround 3200 eur(both) here.

why dn't ya color coded the wheel arch...it can be good i think

CooperID · Sep 7th, 2004, 08:15 AM

Cheers... The seats were around £1200... expensive but worth it

I'm still not sure about the colour coded arches... I'd need to be sure it would be done very well so you couldn't see the texture of the plastic... maybe in a few months I'll think about it

Leccy_Blue · Sep 7th, 2004, 08:41 AM

Mean looking car mate

Congrats
