Saying goodbye to a good friend R56 “Baby Min” and introducing “Mia”. Factory fresh F56 twin turbo V3 Cooper in Deep Blue to the Spec I wanted without going overboard. :smilewinkgrin: I'll have to catch up, I've not read any threads in here for weeks if not a month or so :hand: its only be loading up as one of my Bookmarks over the period.
Got say I'm really impressed with the Car so far, it feels right but different. It certainly feels like it has more get up and go than my R56 Coop and that be driving it easy starting its run in. Still went for the windows in the middle then remembered. I must emit I like the big Start Switch and the Media screen and I can now phone in the Car and the controls on the wheel are nice to have as well. Coming back on the Motorway it was so quiet to my Coop. Two wee things I’d rather it had from my old Coop is the Heart Beat light when it’s locked I really liked that as I could look out on the drive and see the car was locked. It now has a small flashing red LED like every other car on the market. The other is this not putting the Fob into a slot to start the car, I’m sure I’ll get used to it and just remember to leave the keys in a pocket although I just place it in the Cup holder today.
Mr Elf, Media screen with a certain track equals a picture of Kylie for the duration of the song. You need this in your life:smilewinkgrin:
the only slight let down is when I got nearly home and stopped at a friends in full sun light and the swirl marks down the side of the cars rear quarter and door jumped out. It looks like it was really poorly prepped or washed. :sad: So instead of being relaxed and a happy bunny I’m a wee bit disappointed, one in myself for not saying please leave the Car I’ll wash and one that a new Car can be turned over to anyone with a dirty sponge. :ragin: Also whan I asked about the Handbook the sales guy who has been great said they dont do them now as its all in the Media centre..My immediate thought was what about people without the media screen? Anyway after been told that came home to open the Boot and find the new Handbook in the nets. :confused: So as I thought they still do the Handbook
So barring the Swirls its all good, but really for the price paid I feel swirl marks should never have entered the equation but what is done is done, as Mr D has demonstrated Swirls can be corrected when someone that knows what they are doing is on hand to give the car Some TLC. So taking the Car on a run tomorrow and although not planned I'm going to pass into the dealers to run the swirls past them. At the very least it may flag up a point that if it was washed on site they need to take a look at what is being done. Anyway it will get corrected one way or the other as I've always took pride in the way my car looks and its too expensive a Toy not be right I think most will agree.
