for the missus.....after much debate we decided on a Cooper after this one came up for sale by a mate.

August 2006 Mini Cooper
Pepper White
4.9k miles
4 yrs TLC remaining
2 yrs BMW warranty remaining

Chilli pack (Half Leather etc.)
Incl. AC upgrade to Climate control
Black Bonnet stripes

*edit* I know it's never going to live up to the Elise but the wife hasn't had a look in since we collected it last wednesday. You do need to rev the nads off it to go (4.5k to 6.5/7k) it is pretty nippy and the handlings excellent. An all round fun car to drive

Here's some pics...

You cant argue with the 4yrs servicing / 2 years warranty can you

bloomin 'eck - you've only just bought it? My missus has put about 1k on hers, and she only started looking about a week after you did

What did you get it for, out of interest? If you got the bluetooth phone kit... any idea how to turn up the microphone sensitivity?

Looks cool

Maybe there is a need for an SE mini cooper sub-section since there seems to be at last 4 on the go

Don't suppose you kept any oil filters for it? Believe it or not, with the 421 manifold/oil cooler takeoff combo in mine, it's the only oil filter that will fit in there!

I paid exactly £12k for it, sorry can't help you on the phone front it doesn't have that fitted, she's bad enough driving with the CD player on never mind talking on the phone
