Hi from Norway

Hi all! I'm from Norway and own a 06 Cooper Park Lane, after ending up falling totally in love with MINI after my father got one about a year ago.
Currently living, studying and working in Bergen, Norway.

Hello,

Looks like you have a rare Park Lane edition. We did not get them here in the states. But we did get some of the park lane options. It was not a full package. Congrats.

But we did get a version in the Countryman :

Yea, that park lane edition has that checkered / carbon fiber looking center dash. And those euro English leather seats with the white piping. Very nice.

Sweet looking Cooper and one of the best years. The Park Lane interior is totally nice. Excellent find and looks in mint condition, too. Truly well taken care of 10 year car.

You noticed that yes. The car was for sale in Oslo, and according to the service history 9/10 services has been done in Oslo. It's a nice car to drive half a day, 500km with to get home.

And with all the silver Chilli packages cars for sale it was a really great looking car at the sales site!

Welcome to NAM.
Oh, you are going to love that car more as time goes on. Our '04 Cooper, that we have had since new, is still a joy to drive. Very fun on the twisty roads, but comfortable enough so that it doesn't beat you up (but needing new shocks).

But, what? Winter time in Norway and no snow on the ground?
