We collected the wife's new MINI yesterday.

MINI One with optional 15" alloys & Moonwalk Grey paint. The bonnet strips, roof & door mirror caps were an early birthday present for her, she knew nothing about them until she saw the car Sunday morning.

Weird pictures! On the left hand side of the picture the showroom and new car are very monochrome. The right hand side of the picture with the display board, your better half and kiddies are an explosion of colour.

+1 The car looks great with that variation on the UJ theme; suits it really well.
Alas it has ben a long time (if ever) since I could carry off wearing electric blue leggings. Men's clothes are so boring; not a patch on the peacocks of olde.

I must say so far we really like the car, it has no less equipment than you need, but no more than you want, a useful amount of extra space & a surprising slug of torque low down for a small capacity petrol engine.

As you would expect of a BMW product it's nicely screwed together, the materials are of a decent quality & it rides & handles very well.

Had I not just bought a Renault Zoe I'd be looking at one of these.

Your wife has that "I particularly didn't want the vinyl roof decals, mirror flags or bonnet stripes, but it's my birthday so I'll have to pretend that I like them" look

I say this because I know my wife hates all that functionally pointless crap.

Nice car though.
