    So I’ve owned the mini for just over 2 weeks now, previously I have owned Audi TT’s over the last 7 years (6 in total) from mk1-mk3, V6 to RS, decided it was time for a change, the mini was a car I always wanted to own at some point, I test drive a cooper S around a month back and was sold, very responsive engine, nice sound track from the exhaust, comfortable and lots of toys to keep me busy .

    I look forward to mini ownership and pestering you all with lots of questions

    Welcome along and a cracking wee car that you’ve bought.

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Really nice looking f56. My friend has just recently got a mk3 Tts must say it's certainly capable if a bit safe feeling. It's fast but doesn't actually feel that fast

    Thanks, the TTS is a nice car but you never really felt involved I driving it, very light steering which was a bit weird
