Hey everyone!
Thought I'd use my MINI as an icebreaker, so here goes.

This is my 2005 MINI Cooper S in Blackeye Purple, which doesn't show too good on the pictures but they're the only pics I have, weirdly.
It's my second new MINI, fourth BMW (of sorts) and eighth car I've owned in my glorious five year driving life. So. here she is...






And my name's Daniel, 22 years young and currently living in the grand old city of Nottingham smile


Hello to you all, and I'll be sure to be posting lots of things in the near future smile

Thanks guys! I've got pictures of all of them but I'm at work at the minute so I'll have to post later.

I've got plans for it; currently figuring out a colour scheme. Been meaning to book in to Lohen for a reduced pulley but just haven't got the time at the minute. Also have my eye on some Hartge interior bits from the haven that is German eBay, but I just haven't got round to it...

Probably my favourite colour for those, really not a fan of the white bits though!

An Aero front grille would look sweet smile

Just round the corner, yeah!


I mostly drive around town because that's where I live, so I average about 28mpg. On a long drive I get over 40mpg, it's not too bad in all fairness smile

I think the word you're looking for is 'convenience'.


And I've sure I've seen a red Monaro around so I'll be sure to send a flash your way when I next see you smile

Nice car. The facelifted S always look much better thanks to the revised lights.

Have a look at getting some new wheels as those S-spokes are quite heavy.

Reduced pulley is a worth while investment as aren't they only £120 plus fitting and can release as much as 25bhp?
