Whats happend to all the diesel owners?

Hi Guys,

How is everyone? It seems very quiet over here these days.... or maybe quite a few ONE D owners have jumped ship to other cars? Cooper D's perhaps?

Has anyone been busy doing things to their cars over the last few weeks / months? I've not done anything except get rid of the fried egg look in the sidelight pods, by fitting silver indicator bulbs. I also got some Philips bluevision sidelight bulbs, so they now match the upgraded headlamp bulbs and arent yellow anymore.

In the new year I'm hoping to get a set of 30mm Eibach lowering springs and a pair of black halo projector headlamps from Mikey at newministuff.

How about you lot?

James.

I don't have my One D any more! Sold it back in March and got myself a new Cooper! I do miss my little D though, was a good car! Hopefully though, the next car will be the Cooper D!

Hi folks, i'm still about, although I'm going to have to come clean.....I ordered a Clubman CooperD on Saturday, I'm going back to my fave colour Yellow & Black roof, can't wait, its due Christmas week, will post the spec when I get home, can't remember everything i've ordered!

As for my current OneD, it is going great, got 24500 miles on it now, just had new front tyres at 23k, wouldn't have thought about swapping it if they hadn't pursuaded me to go for a test drive on Sat!

I like your style Aston.

There will be a nicely specced 55 Reg Chili Red OneD originally worth 16k available at the end of Dec for 11.5k if you are interested. 25k miles on the clock

Stealers will be putting it on the forecourt for near to 13k i'm sure!
