Morning guys. I've had my Lightning Blue R56 Cooper S for just over a month now. Been lurking around the various forums trying to find one serious enough to join and here we are.....:smilewinkgrin:

The Mini is a 47k miler 2007 car with FSH and big spec. Really nice wee motor and the missus'n'me have loved it from the minute we sat in it! The turbo-charged engine is a cracker and the fuel economy is quite impressive too. We picked the car up on a Friday and did a weekend trip to Oban on the Saturday which involved some "inspired" driving:motoring:, as you might imagine, and it still returned 40mpg. I was getting the same return with my previous motor, an MG ZT+ CDTi!! Nice.

So, here're some pics of the Mini for you.......

Nice looking car. Hopefully we might see you about in East Lothian, either in the Clubby or The Beast. Often use the jet wash at the Macmerry end of Tranent.

By the way, where was the old petrol pump in the picture?

The old petrol pump is at Myreton Motor Museum at Aberlady. I dare say I'll see a few of you local guys around the area.:bigwave:

Lovely motor, but slightly worried about the "serious" reference - have you MET any of us? :smilewinkgrin: :crazypilot:

LOL! Haven't met any of you yet. However, when I said serious I was serious.....seriously. Did I take that too far?
I noticed on one of the other forums that it's difficult to get an answer without having the proverbial ripped out of you. I was a member of the 75&ZT club previously and found their forum excellent. I'm expecting NMS to live up to my expectations.....you all seem very sensible so far.:p
