Re-joined the chilli red club!

[Duncan Stewart]

Picked up my new Mini today and very pleased with it :D
Helen has christened him "Zippy" :rolleyes:

Drives great on Bridgespoke wheels with normal tyres (Runflats are now an option)
I added front fogs & a fuel computer, also got air-con as it is now standard
But the best extra I added was an HK stereo - superb sounding

Weather was rubbish here today but grabbed a couple of quick pics when the rain went off for a while

Very nice Duncan!

[KenL]

Lovely.

What do you get to help with puctures instead of runflats? I had a spare wheel with my red/black Cooper but that is not an option with the S.

[Livi]

Think it is a mobility kit Ken :thumbs up:

[N16SHP]

Very nice choice in colour may I add. Super looking car!

Very Nice Duncan.. :thumbs up:

I struggled to keep up with you in your Coop, so it's gonna be fun keeping up with your S :lol: I can hear Helen screaming from here... :laugh:

[Duncan Stewart]

Always park on the chips so I step out onto the concrete :D

[Duncan Stewart]

Nice looking mini Duncan:thumbs up: not sure about you joining those Cooper S boys.:hand::hand:

I know, I always thought my Cooper was fast enough but thought I'd better try out an S sometime :D

[Duncan Stewart]

Very Nice Duncan.. :thumbs up:

I struggled to keep up with you in your Coop, so it's gonna be fun keeping up with your S :lol: I can hear Helen screaming from here... :laugh:

I've had the lecture from Helen already but I've told her the sports seats will keep her in place better :eek:

[Duncan Stewart]

Lovely.

What do you get to help with puctures instead of runflats? I had a spare wheel with my red/black Cooper but that is not an option with the S.

Back to the compresser and gunk I'm afraid as a spare wheel is not an option on the S.
However I will be adding a full size spare to my rear seat (as I did with my first BMW Cooper)

[MINI William]

Very nice Duncan and Helen enjoy:D

[Stewart]

Lightning blue Cooper :sad: is gone, the very car that pushed me over the Mini edge.


Thats as lovely S all the same and you’ll be doing that “Highland Tour” now is style. :thumbs up:

[badwolf340]

Lovely car, great to see you giving the S a try. As Craig said, it was hard enough keeping up with you in the Cooper:D

[ianking]

Nice new car Duncan. Great colour combo :D

[Duncan Stewart]

Nice new car Duncan. Great colour combo :D

[shaunbhoy67]

very nice duncan :cool:

[Duncan Stewart]

Zippy is a lovely little car. Was your first one not called Dennis?

No, that was a guy in the Mini clan with a red / black Cooper.
Helen likes to name my minis- New minis have been "Stu", "Bob", "Archie" and now "Zippy" :rolleyes: :D
My classic is "Tig" because he bounces like Tigger :p

[ELFMAN]

Nice one Duncan! Finally came over to the 'Dark Side' of Forced Induction eh?
May the Force be with you! What do you think of the Torque in the Turbo motor? Quite impressive isn't it? Many happy miles to you and Helen.

Still running it in so not really played with the power yet ;)
But you can feel the extra torque - pulls in 6th like the Cooper did in 4th :D
