Here Again.

Hi All,

I've decided to trade in my R56s:

The end result is an F56 Cooper.
Ordered and paid the deposit on the 6th of April to get it into production. All the paper work is complete.
Getting our first house so we wanted to reduce the monthly payments and after test driving both the Cooper and S I decided that the new Cooper engine is brilliant and just what we need.

Here is some pictures of the spec;

Congrats! Just picked up a Cooper F56 after owning a BMW 135i. I too found just a Cooper was perfect for me!

Congratulations on your purchase. Your R-56 was gorgeous! Wow! I love the lowered stance with the coil-overs.

You're going to love your Cooper. I absolutely cannot drive my MINI-S enough. Every excuse I can get to jump behind the steering wheel is a opportunity for MAXI fun in my MINI.

Congrats! You went from a Cooper S to a Cooper? Brave man! It should still be every bit as thrilling due to some of the upgrades to the Cooper. Enjoy!

Nice choice! I'm also one of the converted: from higher Hp (tuned GTI) to Cooper. The Cooper is a cracker of a car and solid value for money
