Hi!!

Hi everyone! Direct from the UK , i've been lurking around these boards for a while now but never posted before!!
I currently own a Cooper which is ........ well.... different from most. It used to be a dealer promo car until i purchased it in October last year.
I'm also interested in some of the parts availible from M7 & Alta & was wondering if there is anywhere in the UK that supply their products?

Here's a couple of pics of my MC! (Sorry about the quality of some of them as they were taken on mine or my friends phone) I'll try to post some more better quality one's soon!

Your MINI reminds me of the Starsky and Hutch ad that MINIUSA did.

Oh the fun never ends! Random people have come up to me in the street asking to have their photo taken with it. It really does turn heads, especially when you have the red light working! lol

LOL

Thanks for the compliments so far guys! i'm still obsessed with it, i even find myself going to the window just to have a look at it! (Yes i know i'm sad!lol) It's at the dealership at the moment, getting some more parts fitted my girlfriend even treated me by ordering me some JCW Shiftlights!

When's yours ready HHFD633? You're gonna love it! (Just remember to wave or flash to other Mini's )

Lol I'm the same, not skipped work to drive it yet (been tempted loads of times tho!) but i just make excuses to go & drive it anyway such as :

"oh dear, my fuel's a bit low i'd better go top it up before work tomorrow"

when actually the tanks full & i just go for a drive & meet up with some other Mini owners for 3-4 hours

As promised! here's a couple of shots a friend of mine took last night on his digital camera, also managed to get some shots of the light but i havn't uploaded those just yet.

btw the white Saxo is my friend Panda's car, he insisted it be the shot (he's called Panda because his car is white with black wing mirrors so it looks like a Panda! )

Well the stripe isn't that original anyway, it appeared on a certain FORD (Fixed Or Repaired Daily) years ago!
