Back into the Mini fold after nearly 50 years, last one was a BRG Cooper, sliding windows and no
mod cons, very basic but performed well. Replacement is a new Spice Orange Cooper S R56 that I bought in January whilst on Holidays, love the beast to death, very nimble and its maiden voyage fully loaded and I mean fully, was from the Gold Coast in Queensland to our home in Darwin Northern Territory. After run in I was able to stretch its legs as we have very generous speed limits up here. Trip ran to 4000klms and fuel economy was amazing even at speed. Will post some pics later as I have yet to do any and hope this is a worthwhile place to spend some time
