So, got to the dealers for 09.30 this morning, and said goodbye to my F56 JCW. It's been a fantastic car, I really have enjoyed being back in a Mini after my brief affair with an M135. Alas it proved that that the F56 was not suited to our new lifestyle, which sometimes means 3 bags of photography kit, walking gear, my spotting scope, and maybe an overnight bag (or 2, or 3 if the Mrs is with me).
We completed the last bits of paperwork, and then it was time for the handover. I was nervous, this car has big boots to fill (no pun intended), and although I did have a test drive, it wasn't a full work out. But I'm pleased to say that, after around 100 miles today I think I made the right choice. It does Snap Crackle & Pop better than a packet of Rice Krispies.... >
Just a couple of shots from the dealers, if the rain stays off tomorrow, I'll give it a quick once over and take a few more pictures...
