Great car for chicas to drive about in....looks good :-)

TMP · 05-29-2011, 04:14 AM

Loved my missus S 'vert....one of only two cars I was properly sad to go.

Looks great and so much fun per pound :thumbup:

lemans 330d · 05-29-2011, 04:24 AM

zltm089 · 05-29-2011, 06:44 AM

looks clean!...did you try it? hows the handling?

Hotcoupe · 05-29-2011, 08:08 AM

Nice one Del, it's always good to have a go-kart alongside the M3

Great cars the 'S', pretty rapid too, especially round the twisties

dxb335d · 05-29-2011, 08:12 AM

Very nice indeed mate, same colour as my brothers and the same wheels. His is not the S!!!

I do like the Mini!

Yes they really are like little Go Karts, I think the ride might improve if the runflats were ditched, can't see her springing for 452's though

The car looks great in Racing Green and it really suits the mini with the light interior. Cooper S are great fun, I am sure you will both enjoy driving it.

Pukka little machine, proper pocket rocket, but I would have kept the SLK, I loved mine like a fat kid loves cake

Thats one of the first things we did as well. I think it was only abouy £280 for all 4 fitted

peterg1965 · 05-30-2011, 03:19 AM

Looks great and top spec too. Was it from a Mini dealer?

Yes Pete, Mini Sevenoaks

I was starting to show the dreaded rust, around the rear arches and front corner.

Tunechisback · 05-30-2011, 02:37 PM

Mini's are the bomb.. never really got that "british racing green" colour.. especially for a girl.

Nice car though.. get rid of those front orange indicators (in the headlights) asap mate, it's just a piece of plastic.. really easy to get out!

dxb335d · 05-30-2011, 03:00 PM

How old was the SLK mate?!

Thirteen years old DXB, they suffer from rust around the arches and the Missus had already had them re done once, so only a matter of time.

BanziBarn · 05-31-2011, 03:46 AM

Lovely car. Never driven a mini, really want to!

If I was in the market I'm not sure if I'd go for the mini s or the 500 Abarth, difficult choice. No doubt the mini is better to drive though!

Oh right fair enough, I knew older ones pre 2000 rusted. Thought maybe yours
was a newer one.
