Its really my wifes car (Red/white Cooper with Chilli pack), but I've never been out of it! I have a Lexus IS300(can't see past it), but the Mini is such a hoot to drive! We got it brand new and it wasnt much dearer to buy than a 2 year old one - bizarre.
Minor mods so far - silver bulbs to replace the front orange indicators, white side and rear indicator lenses but lots of minor mods to follow, nothing drastic!
