Iam picking my mini cooper up tomorrow,
I have been told to look for any faults on the car before I take the keys
Is there anything that is commonly wrong with the cooper when it is first picked up from new?

Check that you have the full spec. I had a wave fitted not the boost I ordered. All sorted out now. Other than that enjoy!

Doesn't that come as standard? Full tank over here is normal, it's part of the 'get car ready for driver'.
I got a bottle of champagne!!! That was a treat!

It should include a full tank. Just dropped of my insurance certificate but still about another 10 days till I collect the car.

My dealer did surprise me today as I have been ribbing them over free stuff and got told I would have the free boquet of flowers like everyone else - what the hell do I want with flowers? was my usual reply.

So to my surprise today they asked if I would like to have clear repeaters fitted (wing indcators) instead of the standard orange instead or the flowers. mmmmm... Let me think - £15 bunch of flowers that I don't want or £40 clear repeaters to make my baby even cooler?

Guess what I choose????!!!

hope you have had a ball today Keith - soon it will be my turn!

I never got a Full Tank-And they wanted to include it with the On the road Price, which was immediately taken off!

I did get a bottle of red wine and white wine!

well i picked it up today,
I got my hands on two key fobs one for each key and i got the usual half tank of petrol from my dealer.
I was also surprised when he gave me a bottle of red and bottle of white wine.
The car is a dream to drive but my union jack had a slight hole in so has to go back in and have it redone.
but apart from that it is superb. Like the new steering wheel
