Hi all, back online at last & with a new mini

[Mini_Disaster]

Hello, well Jade & I disapeared while we moved into a new house over xmas, took a while but thats the internet hooked back up so were back.:laugh:

House is almost finished so Jade's went and treated herself to another mini. Its a 2008 Cooper S Sidewalk in Black with black interior & wheels & has the JCW's kit.

The blue mini's being px's so we'll have some wheels & fog lamps up for grabs is anyones after either.

Also getting rid of the classic cooper, as charming as it is its just too much work so its going to someone (hopefully) who will have the time & knowhow to get it back to concors condition.

Anyway that brings us up to date, hope everyones well. :thumbs up:

Cheers,
Colin & Jade.

[Stewart]

[Mini_Disaster]

Oh yeah...thats much better. I dont like change :D

[Stewart]

Wheels and fog lights are getting removed and will be up for grabs.

Wheels are 'Inovit concept' 18" & tyres 2 with good tread and 2 just legal, all wheels are kerbed around the rim & centre cap has weathered - not wanting much for these!! The fog lamps are PIAA & were flippin expensive, iirc costing £250 a set. Ive got 2 sets with the proper mini brackets. If anyones after either give me a shout, proper for sale post will be made once there off the car next week.

It does have a LSD fitted though from factory aparently lol im sure that will make up!! :D

[stoney]

LOL I was back lodging with parents for a few months after selling my flat, while I waited on a house getting built. Didnt get the keys until the 18th Dec, & its taken from then until now for Sky to hook up the BB.:argh:

Back now though :D

When I clicked 'find all posts started' or whatever it is to that effect, in the menu it came up with none.

Doesnt matter, i'll just gob a load to catch up:laugh:

[Stewart]

Jade's going all stealth mode then all in black. "its just her little black number" :smilewinkgrin:

Cracking looking car with the JCW kits on it. I don't think I'd get a Mini now without it as it just looks so much better down the sides. Bit more power as well.:thumbs up:

[Mini_Disaster]

Certainly is lol

Anyone know if this will be the SC or Turbo engine? It sounded kind of whiny when I drove it but the sales guy said it was turbo.

[Craig]

Sales guy is a muppet then .... It's a supercharged on :lol:

[Mini_Disaster]

Yeah I thought as much to be honest Craig, he didnt seem to know feck all!!

Reeeeeh.....Reeeeeeh.....Reeeeeeeeeeeh is not the sort of sound a turbo should be making!! :D

Uhm....how much is a JCW's exhaust? :)

[ianking]

Have you sold the classic yet?
If not what price you looking for it?

[Mini_Disaster]

Nope not yet, got a guy meant to be coming for a look & to give me a price.

As for what I want for it..........as much as possible as it stands us at around 5k. Being realistic £1000+ would be nice.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Ohhhh... Liking that guys! Very nice 'Vert.:thumbs up::thumbs up:

A.:D
