New F60 owner UK

I dont suppose there are many Brits on the forum. So I offer my apologies for the intrusion 🙂. But although there maybe some slight differences between European & US supplied cars. I just thought this seemed to be a busy and well informed forum. So why not I thought to myself.

I have owned a number of fast (ish) cars including BMW. But this is my first Mini. Although I once owned an Austin Mini. Thats another story for another day. So currently im looking for some low profile roof bars. But im concerned about the opening panoramic roof hitting the bars. So will be doing some research here on that next.

So hope you are all well. And thanks for taking the time to read this.

Welcome !
There are Brits on here - some live in the US, some across the pond.
Lots of info and experiences on here - but one thing we need to be helpful, to know what car/model you have !

Ah yes apologies for that. Do I put it in my signature ?

Anyway a little pic following its first wash. Its a 2019 F60 2.0 Cooper S auto. It has the Media XL pack, Harmon Kardon stereo, electric leather sports seats with memory. And panoramic roof. So pretty happy with the spec.

No apologies needed 🙂 and yes that was another reason for joining. The Clubman seems to be more popular in the UK. But we felt the Countryman offered us more. I would have liked All4 but this one was too good to pass up.

Oh and the dangly air freshener thingy is no more 😀

My CEO is British, and he loves Minis. I'm on my third one now...the best one yet: 2020 JCW Countryman with over 300 HP. It's fair to say I'm addicted. Welcome to the Forum!

Thanks man
I dont think there are many Brits who dont love Minis. We can already see us having another after this one. We think its that good. Back in the day we ran an original Austin Mini 1000. It was good fun as I recall. But sadly rusted itself into an early grave. I
