Congrats. Looks like the pictures did not post. You can attach it as a thumbnail or link to pic option on the message task bar. Looks like mountains with the sun icon.

Heh stopped over to Knauz on Saturday just for laughs without even thinking of buying anything..

Sat in a gorgeous Works GP in the showroom and a nice loaded spice orange S with Recaros and only 9k miles on the lot caught our eyes. We decided it was a worthy successor to our much loved MY 2008 that just hit 100k trouble free miles last week. The 100k warranty definately sweetened the pot.

The wife sure likes having S power - I haven't even driven it since signing the papers!

Looking good. And yes the MINI will do 141. I can confirm that in both my R56S and my current R55S, I never had enough time to max my R50 out, maybe 125 is all I ever got it to and it took a while too.
