Looks nice in black. Shame that horrible red thing got in the way in the photo though

If it didn't, check it out before it goes on fire

The recall for the auxiliary cooling pump for the turbo, not too sure I'll be phoning the main dealership monday.

I'm not ready for the old farts one yet although I do love driving it, maybe a few years down the line I will buy a bag of werthers and pick up a jag.

yep

my neighbour's one set on fire a couple of years ago

What is that black car behind the BMW Medium?

Coopz - 17/3/12 at 08:27 PM

That would be the old mans Jag XF

ReMan - 17/3/12 at 08:42 PM

Sorry, not for me

Had the older supercharged one. Always preferred them over the turbo TBH. But it was great fun, most 'haters' have never driven one...

IMHO only, I think John Cooper is turning in his grave at generating speeds. I say that because the first JC mini was beaten around the local track by a little diesel Skoda.
On the plus side it looks well and has the bigger wheels that the original 'proper' mini always should have had.
Again just my personal views.
Bottom line, if you like it and are happy with it, nothing else matters. So well done that man.

Reminds me of Blazing Saddles.

Teutonic twat.

I don't give a crap what anybody thinks. My wife has a cooper s, and it goes like stink and it is fun to drive. It also does very well at autoslalom. What more do you want?

It's certainly on my list of to get one day cars so enjoy.

Coopz - 18/3/12 at 05:28 AM

Mixed Opinions it seems, each to their own I suppose...I'm still happy for now

Had a couple of the earlier ones too.

Nice little cars. I think the R56 is better built but looks bigger.

I nicked my sisters Cooper S for a weekend. Bloody loved it. Your Mini looks nice mate, enjoy!

I also think that there is a bit of what the Aussie's call the Tall Poppy Syndrome going on here. Can't have a successful British industry. Goes against the grain.
