Hi There!

Thought I'd introduce myself....

Had this beauty about 18 months now and I can say I'm fair chuffed with her! :D

I love the drive myself and the pupils love her too! Shes a very high spec Cooper, DSC, sports+ suspension, cruise control, auto dimming rearview mirror, Xeon's, heated front windscreen, rain sensor etc.

I've only had 4 or 5 minor faults with her and Phoenix of Kirkcaldy have been absolutely outstanding getting them fixed!

Also a couple of idiots that can't drive have run into the back of her so she's on rear bumper number 3........

What you all think then?

BTW this is a Driving School car. If it was just for me Id have gone for the Cooper S Works. :D

I saw the New Mini Scotland url on a New mini at Phoenix Kirkcaldy last week funnily enough, so thought i'd drop by :D

Oh and I'm planning on a Cooper S for the next one in a year or so hopefully, After all the pupils can only go as fast as I let them...........

Well to be fair the first set apart from the signwritten bumper were taken on the day I got her!

She's a very hardworking girl and I treat her to a wash every other day during the week at the Autosheen place and I try to do the 'works' myself if its a nice weekend.

I'd seen the Evo v Bird before, still not much fun when it happens to you lol. Fair to say its a different experiance when it happens on a public road with other traffic......

No really it was actually 60mph, I might have been on the gas heading for 70 though ;)

Well all I can say is they have been absolutely fab, 1st Class, 5 star with me.

I'm even getting a bonnet respray under warranty due to a MINOR defect in the paint and that will sort my stone chips at 56k miles!!!!!! :D
