Hi,
Got my reminder via email this morning that the new F56 MINI models are available to buy.
Excellent Christmas present.
A bit expensive though ......

well i have to say we had a Cooper on order but cancelled due to the never ending delays, but the prospect of getting one immediately is making us think about trying again.....

and yes it will be an expensive xmas pressie for my wife....

edit - just clicked on the link - we are talking slightly bigger more expensive version.....

That's great. If you trawl the net and you're not too fussy with spec a lot of dealers have stock for immediate purchase. You can negotiate a great deal too. Talking uk here btw.

Indeed, local dealer (who were great with all the delays last time) did some searching and came up with a few options - ideally we wanted cooper 3 dr with chilli and media, pano roof and LED lights..... found us one one for immediate ish delivery in midnight black with all the kit we wanted and a bit more, good price and more than fair bid for my part ex. So the wife will get a shiny new toy in time for xmas....

Latest update - we now have a registration number and should know tomorrow if the dealer can get the car on Friday for collection saturday - or whether it will have to be Christmas eve....

Wow, bet Santa won't get that down the chimney-!

Not bad considering it's a 1:18!

Dont think he will manage that..... not sure he is picking up the bill either sadly!

£55 + shipping, so about £60?

Too much IMO, id' be willing to pay up to £30 for a nice 1:18 but not that much..

I guess I'll wait for the other die-cast companies to release cheaper versions.
