Hi, I'm new to the forum today, I drive a beautiful 2014 Mini Cooper S and enjoy reading posts from other owners. I look forward to being a member of the forum

Hi the re, and welcome. Let's have some details about your car,spec and experiences so far. If you have time of course. Must confess I'm bad at getting pictures on here. Still can't do it reliably.

Sounds lovely, just like that!

60 plate?? 63 plate??? "English please"...

2006 model year =60 plate, 2006 after September 2063 plate. Uk number plates are year related and there are two changes per year stingray. Of course you can pay and have a private plate too. Great way for the gov to make some extra cash.

Is yours as in your photo? has he/she got a name?

Fantastic, glad you are back to the mini fold. Yes this is my vo Cooper. I'm not good at uploading pics on here. I had a 2010 cooper s in laser blue , and it was my 50th this year so thought I'd treat myself. Went for the Cooper and then put in every option I fancied with the money I saved over the s. Present was an executive factory tour the week before Jasper was built. Fab if you get chance and the shop has it all. We're a mini convert family as my wife runs a roadsters s called Damon!
Am on here a lot as have a badly broken arm missing driving! Grrrr!

Ps there are some pics of him on the winter tyre thread with his new winter alloys. That was hard work and not cheap!

Good for you. We have far too many friends who just buy boring cars because it's easy. Me too 're the arm. Thank you .Totally fed up with daytime tv. Hope the car will start after 6 weeks of sitting there! Wife doesn't seem to want to drive it! She knows it's my baby.

As long as he pops to the petrol station on his way !!!��

 

[jeremybingham]

And good for us. Life is too short!

 

[jeremybingham]

Poor twilight how did she do that? Role reversal here as it was our dog chasing a cat on a stretchy lead and my refusal to let go that snapped mine! Ah well!!!

 

[jeremybingham]

That's fantastic,she really deserves a good home to live out her retirement.great story.

Hi Deb! Congrats on the new Mini, bet it feels great to have fun driving again. I am new too, as of yesterday. (and a big Don Henley fan!)



Sorry to hear about the arm hope the healing happens quickly for you. LOVE the VO, considering that color myself though it is a toss up between that and the Electric Blue at this point.

I too turn 50 this year (in less than a month); new Mini would be a gift to myself for what has been a trying few years. Have an '08 that I am still hedging on trading in, as it is still low mileage (37K) and gets great fuel economy (41 mpg).

Life goes by fast, drive happy

Thank you three weeks in and some tentative signs it might be improving. I love the blue but it was too similar to my laser blue cooper s. WAnted a total change. Not disappointed. Great indulg ent present!

Love the lakes Deb, we were near Windermere not last Easter but the one before that in the snow. Glad of my winter tyres on my r56 s then!
