Not quite a mid-life-crisis, because we're nothing like as close to mid life as the likes of CraigD and Vintage B3. But all the same, we've sold our caravan, giving us some spare cash and we fancied a wee runaround. Couldn't bring ourselves to test a Boxter, and I'd always fancied a "classic" Mini. And TBH, we're both really missing the supercharger whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine from the R53.
We dabbled with the idea of a cabrio, but they're all still a bit pricey and we couldn't find one that met our "spec" requirements.
So.
After a couple of months of searching, we drove this wee baby home today.
55 Plate 2005 Cooper S Auto in Chilli Red, Chilli Red roof, Chilli Pack, Full Leather, Spots, Chrono Pack, Heated Seats, Vis Pack, 6-disc Changer, 18" R95 JCW Alloys, Aero Kit.
The mod list has started already.... In no particular priority order:
JCW Air Filter - actually already fitted by dealer - done a deal.
Play Mini Exhaust.
Graphics of some sort - putting lots of thought into that one.
Centre arm rest - meeting resistance from Lenore on this one.
R105 18" JCW Alloys Burnished.
Would like to say a quick thank-you to Brent at Grassics in Perth for looking after us.
Pics on next post.
A.
