Grabbed the Chilli red aerosol... half an hour and less than a tenner, Bingo!

Nicely done, been meaning to paint mine red for ages . Can't be arsed to pull the bumper to remove them , so least I know it can be done in situ.

Recent picture of our Mini. It's normally much cleaner but a visit to Inch Perfect Trials near Clitheroe left it a bit muddy.

Cheers.

Picked up an F56 Cooper S yesterday, 2014, really high spec, nearly 7k worth of options specc’d when new! Really low miles (13k), but serviced every year and MOT’s back up the indicated miles..




I must admit…I’m a bit blown away by this little car…it’s really, really quick!

Seems to have way more than the standard 192 bhp, wondering if the previous owner had remapped it…

Awesome little machine!

Our MINI is currently in its 'Winter Mode'.



I think the black steel wheels work well against the Emerald Grey paint.

Really enjoying ownership since purchasing in April '21.

The wife's Cooper. Bought at 50,000mls and now this weekend has just done 100,000mls. Totally factory spec and has run like a dream. I replaced the timing chain last week - just in-case - and do all the servicing myself. We both love it.

Hi all.
I'd like to introduce you all to our happy mistake.
My wife was in another city and spotted this 2003 Cooper S that she fell in love with. We were looking a for a suitable car my daughter to start driving and thought this might fit the bill.
So my wife bought it, and when I drove off the yard and give it some welly, I knew there and then this would NOT be the daughters car.
Turns out its a more heavily modified than we first thought. (15% pulley, ignition leads, FULL exhaust system to head etc)

So we now have a fun car.
I'm booked in for my girst track day next. SO excited, I feel like I'm in my 20s again. biggrin

Cheerful little car. The new Minis suit Chili red.

MoT time. Failed on a worn track rod end, not too bad for a 19 year old banger.

Superb purchase! Bet that was your plan all along though! Sounds great fun.

My old JCW Clubman is now up for sale at Southport MINI. A great car for the lucky new owner. https://www.halliwelljones.co.uk/mini/approved-use...

Prices still high I see, we paid £27k new for our Clubman JCW 2 years ago.

Yes JCW prices are still high and cars are selling too. I really struggled to find a decent approved one in December as they were selling within hours.
