New car (Mini Cooper) with pictures

feenster99 · 5 Mar 2006 at 21:46

Hi all,
Just got myself a New Mini, a 2002 51 plate Cooper in Pure Silver, with 17" S alloys, full heated leather, panoramic glass roof, chili pack, alarm etc etc. Here are some photo's!

I'm delighted with it! Have a few things to fix on it, but it's great to drive. Mmm, heated leather!

Cheers,
Matt

Nice car mate. How much did she set you back?

feenster99 · 5 Mar 2006 at 22:01

Erm, enough to mean I will probably not have enough money to buy petrol for the rest of the month

Blimey, how many people have bought new cars in the last few days?

Very nice mate. The interior is really good, although I hate the speedo in the middle..

You get used to it, but yes, it is a very odd position. I think if I get the onboard computer unlocked and installed on it, it can show the current speed on the screen on the rev counter which would be nice.

I know exactly how you feel mate. I picked my new car up last week. Thats a good mileage on it for how old it is.

Something Ive wondered - does it get distracting having to look across to the speedo?

i love the new mini's, such nice cars. i love the big speedo in the middle. and it's not at all difficult or weird to use

congrats

Nice car, been looking at several cooper s's this weekend, they sound totally fantastic when revved, had a peek round several regular coopers as well, again nice cars, what shocked me is all he ones i sat in had less than 42k but the silver door grab handles had bad scratches on them, hope yours is better?

IMO yes, you lose your pheripheral vision of the road.

Nice car, what's the roof like?

The speedo is annoying, my parents one doesnt have the digital speedo under the revs either. I rarely look at the speedo because of this to be honest.
