I'm coming back!

After 3 MINI's and a couple of BMW's I am returning to MINI, I had a really bad experience with one of the very early R56 Cooper S's which resulted in me getting a replacement BMW.

I have always had a real soft spot for them, and have just traded in my BMW 123d for a MINI Cooper S in Pepper white with the following spec!


Automatic Air Conditioning

CHILI Pack

Chromed Mirror Caps

Colour Line Dark Grey

Front Centre Arm Rest

HiFi Speaker System

Interior Trim Brushed Alloy


Leather interior

Navigation System

Park Distance Control

Radio BOOST CD

Rain Sensor & Lights On

Roof&Mirror Caps In Black

Smoker Pack

The car has done 4,000 miles.

THe BMW is great but to be honest a little soulless, I drove a Cooper S the other day and reminded myself how much fun they are.

Can't wait to get it!

Well..... Picked the car up today and I have to say that it is absolutely awesome! Enjoyed the 120 mile drive back it is such fun! I did something that I have never done before, bought it unseen, told the dealers what a fantatic I was and they told me that the car I was originally interested in was not up to standard but this one is - he was correct it is absolutely pristine!!!! you would never know it has been on the road!

Cant wait to have a really good drive and post up some pics!

Congratulations I bet you can't wait for a proper drive

Something I would never do is buy a car unseen - You must have a lot of trust in the dealer!

Look forward to the pics

I am the most fussy person you will ever meet! what I did was put a £250 deposit on the car and went to collect it today on the understanding that the car was as described i.e. unmarked except for a couple of tiny chips on the bonnet, the dealer knew that if that was not the case, I would get back into my own car and drive home!
The car was an excellent spec and the right deal so saved me going down twice, the car was exactly as described so everyone is happy!!
