Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a good secondhand MINI Cooper,(S if the price is right). Willing to wait for a reasonable time if some one has a new one on order.
Thanks

Wow! What a list of mods. Must be hell of a car to drive.

A bit to much for me I'm afraid. (I couldn't imagine what it would be like, phoning up an insurance company to get a quote for insurance with a list of those mods.)

My wife thinks all MINI's are the same, so I think I could manage to sneak a Cooper passed her, but I think she might be a bit suspicious if I turn up in this car, but I think it would help convert her away from her beloved 'Ka'.

Sorry but I'll have to give it a miss I'm afraid.
Thanks anyway for the speedy reply.

I'm still trying to convince Rob that your car would suit him nicely, but he's not falling for it, all I get in response is "black Turbo 2" in a huffy type of grumble...:evil:

Sounds interesting, but I don't I can wait that long.

I'll have to have it before we get our new house, or my wife will want the money for a new kitchen/carpets/bathroom suite/ etc. etc.

Have you planned what your new car will be like? When I was deciding on Eck's spec(K), Catriona (6) and myself had great fun planning what colour combos we'd have on the seven MINIS we would buy when (note when not if!!) I win the lottery. Stuff the flash git cars, we just want a different MINI for everyday of the week. When we did go to collect Eck she was anxiously looking around for the other six! Reminded her dad that if the lottery doesn't materialize he will have to fork out the readies for them since, as he knows from my work, children disappointed by their parents can suffer such profound psychological distress. I think I detected a slight note of insincerity in his voice when he said 'Of course dearest'. Insincerity is an awful thing!
