R56 finally for MrCorsar

[N12 JLK]

Yippee MINI have finally got there fingers out there Ar**'s and delivered one of 'The Oxford 3'!!. Mr Corsars lovely Laser Blue S arrived today after weeks of torment at Oxford!! Looks as though someone got the short straw to drive ALL the way up to Scotland with it ( I mean its a long long way away is Jockland;)). Time will only tell when the other 2 will be released but if Terry Waite was anything to go by then it may be sometime;)

I take it that no new S's have been delivered yet? I'm eager to see how it differs from the supercharged old model.

[illegalhunter]

Yes it's true my new baby arrived today - off the back off one of four transporters - that was delivering to Menzies today with both MINI and BMW :approve::approve: Didn't think I was going to see it until the New Year due to the problem getting drivers to deliver up here :mad: but after some sterling detective work by Craigy boy (Thanks big fella ;)) I was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting in the compound :approve::D:D;)

I need to pop down and see Clare tomorrow to tie up a couple of things and if I mind I'll take my camera down and snap a few photies :I;)

All going well I should be able to collect it next weekend and a new Mini adventure will begin (Oh and I'll try and mind to take some pics of it when it's washed and polished) :D:cool::clown:;)

[illegalhunter]

oh good pics of a new s so is yours there now craig

[Craig]

nope, mine is still awaiting a working fuel pump. No update as yet, so the wait continues...

Marks car wasn't affected by the fuel pump problem 'cos his went through the production line after they fixed the fault..;)

[Scottie]

well done Markyc. might see it in the compound tomorrow when I am in getting me parts on order.

;):p

Your car was looking spanking today Mr C. And that's without the 3 bazillion coats of polish you're bound to apply before driving anywhere.

A.:D

[minimad]

congrats marky boy wishing you all the health in driving your new beast;)

[Crombers]

[markyc]

Well I remembered my camera so here are some snaps of the newbie :approve::D:I;) It's still sitting on suspension blocks so is a wee bit higher than it should be :);)

[T6 KFR]

Fancy Fancy !

Like the look of your interior, very nice!!

what a way to bring in the new year eh..ha ha

[Scottie]

Looks really cool and once you get it some custom graphics on it to lift the colour of the car it will look super cool.:cool:

Interior looks good also.

[illegalhunter]

suspension blocks what are these marky plz explain

[Craig]

they are installed for the transportation of your car from the factory to stop the car from "bottoming" out on the car transporter (to basically protect your suspension) They are taken out during the PDI so the car comes down a few inches...:D

[illegalhunter]

thats that then cheers craig

[N12 JLK]

Changed our R56 today again, phoned Clare today to have the bonnet stripes removed when the car arrives and have the new viper stripes put on, white on the bonnet and back with blue on the white roof, should be nice. Oh putting on stainless twin pipe covers on the exhaust (copying MrC but they look cool!, like a couple of pint glasses). Let the mods commence:)
