OK, so at Christmas time, I gave my wife a new hardcover book and she got a Mini for me! (Fair, right?)
Vehicle: Used, AS-IS (no warranty!), 2015 F56 base, silver with white roof, manual, 17" Tentacles, classic(?) Union Jack scuttle.
(For some reason the car sat at the dealer for 9 months (at 400 miles), maybe a demo car, but a "manual" in these days?) First owner from 2015-2019, then me.
The ended warranty was 3 weeks before Xmas, at the Mini dealer service history was "new front 2 tires, new clutch disc, and "cleaned" the flywheel. (Dumb question, but don't a normal install should have a new pressure plate and release bearing, too? Current at 43,000 miles.)
And yes, its a fun car to drive...... but so is my "REAL British" 1972 Triumph TR6 (but not in the winter!)
Welcome. Went home to Philly, So. Jersey for Christmas. Right before that, I, too, got a 2015 Mini, here in CA. Mine is a black 4 dr with 17 in. Cosmos 10 spoke silver wheels. Just added Black Jack side scuttles:
to the manual transmission too!
