Hello

I know I know I'm a traitor...after 5 months of Polo GTi ownership I've today bought a fabulous 07 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works in Silver Metallic (full body coloured) got a brilliant deal and I'm over the moon! It's got allot of extras (being an ex-demo) worth in excess of Â£25k. Will post up pics when the days are better and I can charge the battery on my camera lol

So long farewell cheerio ciao

Aus Liebe van Automobile!

The rattly back doors get to you in the end? LOL

Mind don't seem to rattle (touch wood) but I'm sure you don't give a hoot now!!!

Nice car you've got coming, what else did you consider and why did the MINI win you over then? I do like the Cooper Ss and would probably have had one by now if I didn't need lots of family space

To be honest, I've wanted a Mini for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggges but I've always thought they were over-priced for what they are! I've driven a Mini Cooper and found it nice, but not very inspiring. Drove a Cooper S not long after and found it a might disappointing and with shocking ride quality. However, great fun round the bends! The new model which I've got has still got quite a hard ride but is softer than the older model, so I'm made up. It looks well nice, no STUNNING, you'll see why when I can be bothered to post pics. It's incredibly rare because it's all body coloured, not got the hidious black plastic "nappy" effect bumbers like on standard Cooper/Cooper S's

I'm having sooooo much fun, ok so it's expensive, but it's an absolute hoot!!!!!
