Hello folks,

Decided to have a look at a 2005 Mini One to replace my rust eaten Mazda 6 2.3 Sport, turned out to be rotten (complete with indoor swimming pool) so went elsewhere and came home with a delicious 2004 Cooper S in blue & white.

Fell in love with the Mini and I've definately caught the bug!!!

Cheers,
Alan

Welcome along Alan.

That purple headed warrior was really something else eh! I have never seen a modern mini looking so sorry for itself, I honestly thought the guys showroom was a scrapyard. Glad you got the R53 instead :)

I think it was Sean, many thanks for coming along to assess the new purchase!

The girls have decided it shall be called Alice Cooper....

Spent more pennies on cleaning products today so hopefully it will be mint soon.

Those mirror covers, stripes and chequered roof have all seen better days, going for plain white roof, mirrors and I might replace the stripes.

Cool Alan, your right that the chequers have to go and I'd also have the spripes renewed too. Gimme a couple of weeks as I'm a tad busy just now then bring it over and we'll give it a service and deeper assessment [emoji2]
