Hello, yes its a Nurburgring sticker on the back on my car 
Is that so? i didnt know you couldent get my seats in the usa, how odd. Quote from wikipedia tells you the difference between my ONE and a COOPER which isnt much, an anti roll bar and a differect ECU.
In some markets, such as Australia and the US, only the MINI Cooper and Cooper S are sold because the MINI One's engine was considered to deliver insufficient power to run an air conditioner - a necessary feature in those climates. However, the only difference between the engines in the 'One' and the 'Cooper' models is a software change within the engine control unit which is tuned for optimum fuel economy on the MINI One and for a compromise between power and economy on the Cooper. Almost fifty percent of all MINIs sold in Australia and about seventy percent of those sold in the US are the top-of-the-range Cooper S model.

nice pics, beautiful car. And great to have a visitor from across the pond. My brother-in-law just moved to Scotland. Where are you? Is there a Mini site over there that we can visit?
