New GP

Hello All, I have just replaced my BMW K1600GTL motorcycle with a new Mini GP for my weekend fun and wow what fun I had last weekend.
This car is amazing.
Not much to do in the way of accessories with this mini, a glove box organizer and a shorty antenna are the only things I have found.
Looking forward to MOTD next may.

Drive 'er in good health, and we'll see you at The Dragon!

Its my first. I started out looking at the R56 S and it went up from there, well if I'm spending this much that really isn't that much more and so on and so on.

I started this adventure looking at a R56 S and it went form there, if I am spending this much I might as well spend a little more to get this and so on and so on.

Here's a GP tip
I've noticed on my GPS that your speedo is reading as much as 4-5 mph faster then your actually going

My JCW was 2 mph, tire size i guess, anyway its something with European laws and incorrect speedo readings.
