I would love the Cooper S spokes but £1,050 is a bit on the dear side

Neil Curtis · Jul 3rd, 2002, 07:14 AM

Yeah yeah yeah, do seventeens.

Go for non MINI ones, they're cheaper and look a bit more exclusive.

Neils Seventeens.....

If your Cooper S is arriving in September, why spend a fortune on your One?

How much were they

timlowden771 · Jul 23rd, 2002, 09:02 AM

I brought them from a mate. They have covered 25 miles and they cost me £500. Not bad then MINI want over £1000. I can't wait to get her back

Looking forward to seeing that badboy of yours again soon Tim - not seen you out and about for a while. BTW mate, watch out - the Stortford rozzers are out with a speed gun most nights now - you have been warned!!! TBH makes me sick, since that guy who needed the police station found it shut at like 7pm on a Saturday, and on a Monday night at 11pm they're out looking for speeders - should at least be doing drink driving at that time of night, or back at the station eating donuts or something...

Mini Cruiser · Jul 24th, 2002, 01:03 PM

Sure it looks nice but i would have bought sum 'none bmw' alloys

timlowden771 · Jul 24th, 2002, 06:19 PM

Hi mate, long time no see (or hear!!) how you doing?? I have seen the poilce around a few times now. I have been told that they have got a new toy ot play with(A new speed camera!) I almost got the other day but after some very hard braking(Good old ABS!) I got down to 30 in time!! Pretty luck really becasue I got flashed in Brighton the other day (bugger bugger bugger!!!) The Mini does look sweet now. We must meet up soon mate

Nice, better than my 15's

After seeing all the Minis lined up at Silverstone with the chrom grills, I worked out that mine was the only one there with a black grill. I think I will leave it like it is to be different!!

JV · Jul 30th, 2002, 04:16 AM

Looks very sweet indeed - prefer them in white, but hey, you can't have everything. And yes - the fuzz are out in force at the moment - back at the driving test centre again last night, but managed to lose 20mph in a hurry and waved as I drove by (which they didn't like, but tough).

Mine's going in on Thursday for some work and a service and best of all the white lights at the back and white side repeaters too - can't wait to see what she'll look like when she's done - sadly only a fiesta or something for a loan car (couldn't be bothered to wait for their courtesy MINI - though it has the CVT and skinny wheels, which was ace fun) - nevertheless, should only be in for the day...

Really have to meet at H20 or something mate...
