MINI

[GFWilliams]

Well, I start driving next monday (I'll be 17), so here are a few pictures of my MINI (One). Got the ph sticker on this evening

I won't list the spec, but some of the good bits:
- Leather Seats
- Automatic Lights
- 6 speed gearbox (unlike previous generation)
- PH sticker






With my dad's other cars:


So, what do you think?

Very nice for a first car mate, although I won't lie to you I much prefer your old man's cars!

Photography is ace.

Not too shabby for a first car

Nice car have a mini myself albeit it near enough 30 year older lool
Had a drive in a previous generation cooper s and was a very nice car seemed well made and was nice and roomy in the front a lot better than I expected the back was a bit small though children only to be honest.
Do like the facelift on yours only dissapointment is the previous generation mini could be remapped to about 125bhp as was basically a detuned cooper engine where as this is a 1.4 not going to lie though is a cracking first car will have a lot of jelous friends
Oh and I too would not mind some photos once on the roads

Loads of people in our area - you should come along to a few meets (keep and eye out on Thames Valley & Surrey/Events forum)

I'm up for a shoot - probably best to either give me a call (number on my site) or pm me with a number so I can call you

I'll bet a tenner it'll be written off by Christmas.

Nice supportive words there, jealous perhaps?

To the OP, nice first car, hope you enjoy it. Fantastic pictures too.

I'll take that bet.

What we saying? GFWilliams posts a time stamped picture of his car on boxing day?
For his trouble, i'll even send him on the tenner.

Don't back out of your keyboard warrioring now.

Ill take that bet also, as i dont really see how. He seems down to earth enough, and the car is hardly super fast and hard to drive.

Its plonkers like you who bring this place down

Well said - Thanks mate

btw - I'm won't be your normal average young driver, I'm going to take it at my own pace and I'm not going to race everywhere the moment I pass (unlike some of my mates)..
