Hey Guys!!!!!???

[Scottie]

I'M going to look at a Mini this afternoon.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek::eek: :eek:

I did see one online at my local dealer that I likes but well you know the score:mad:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Good news Fi. Hope it goes well for you.:D :D :D

Cooper? S? GP? One? JCW? Colour? C'mon, spill!!!!

A.:D

Whay are you even looking :eek:

[Craig]

what !! :eek:

jings, I bet it's not for you tho... prob for someone else.. ;)

helping my neighbour at the moment look for a sub £7k MINI and there is a HUGE choice at the moment.. :cool:

[Mini Ecosse]

Well, did you or didn't you buy a mini?

[Scottie]

Not yet Slawson.:rolleyes:

Couldn't get what I was looking for.

Took a test drive in a R56 Mini One. Was not as bad as i thought it would be.

Was great to blast around Stanley area.

But Grassicks only offered £300 discount bringing it to £13450 or around that without a trade in.:eek: :eek:

They didn't have a massive choice in the used market within my budget that I would want to own.

A 3 spoke steering wheel is a must. Chiili Red or Pepper White Cooper or One or One D. R56.

Although I could maybe possible get a ParkLane but then I would need my wheels back Slawson. LOL

Or if I could only find a PW Sidewalk within my budget.

Frankly was a bit disappointed the sales guy he was not trying to sell the car and in the end I lost interest with him although he might have taken my lack of question to be lack of interest but there was nothing I really needed to ask him tbh.

I will continue my quest through the mini.co website to see if I can find anything.:cool:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Shame you couldn't make the deal Fi.:(

Clearly Grassics didn't know who was in their show room or they'd have been all over you like a rash.:rolleyes:

A.:D

Oh I don't know that Andyp.

I am sure I saw another NMS member in the showroom today. Thought I knew him but wasn't till I got outside to take the test drive and saw the graphics on him Mini did I then know it was him but he was away by the time I got back.

[KenL]

Glad you ARE coming back to MINI...

Was that a new or used R56? Discounts are hard to come buy, I thought.

[The Dogfather]

I had a look on Motorpoint just out of curiosity to see if there was anything on there; there's quite a few MINIs in stock but I reckon they maybe imports as I've never seen a Cooper S in Hot Orange

http://www.motorpoint.co.uk/(S(tsocvt55ii5td555gfnublqw))/Search/VehicleDetails.aspx?vehicle=170071

Especially not with orange leather :eek:

[The Dogfather]

Mind you the have an old shape Cooper S hatch with delivery miles, now that must be the last of the supercharged ones in the country. Its even got climate and recaros £16k

you got a link to it

[The Dogfather]

Its not been registered so it might be an import, but don't BMW don't a Europe wide warranty?

[The Dogfather]

There'll be an extra £500 on top of that price for prep and registering, plus you have to get your own roadtax. BTW you can order the car over the phone, then if you don't like it when you go to collect cancel the order.

Ah, I didn't realise I thought it was only the Cooper that came in Hot Orange.

There seems to be an awful lot of MINIs on motorpoint at the moment.

[AeroJonny]

Sorry Fi, it's a showroom car just now...looks brilliant though. When I was in I dealt with a guy called Alfie, he seemed really decent.

did you notice the price of the car?

[AeroJonny]

I'm afraid i didn't see a price, I didn't look at the board thing beside the car. I've got the guy's card if you want his number?

[markyc]

[Craig]

[weefossy]

First had the old lambswool covers with Bri-nylon backs in a mini in the early 70's then had the sheepskin rug type covers in a "souped up" Morris 1300 GT with go fast stripes. Real class:cool: :cool: Those were the days:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Big Gordy]

I remember them Malc:eek: Great for keeping your bum warm on very cold plastic seats if I remember rightly:o ;) :D
