Left a deposit for this today.
Its for Jades 21'st............which coincidently isnt until the end of May.  
The old one was needing some bits done for its mot & by trading it at the price we got made sense, so this will be Mini No4 in under 2yrs of having a licence.
Its quite nippy, sounds nice when spooling up (I had the test drive & got to kick its brains out  ) & I believe it has the JCW's kit!?
I might actually be tempted to nick the keys for this one :doyle:

The 4th in 2 years
Surely keeping the old one would have been far cheaper even if it did need a couple of bits and pieces?

Old one needed:
Brakes all round
Exhaust cat back
New windscreen
Engine using coolant
MOT
So quite a few quids worth.
Sometimes it makes sense to px it instead

After the troubles you've had with them I can't believe you've gone for another. And it's not even a new shape

New shape on the convertibles didnt come out until last year and are still around 20k.
We'll see how we get on with the S, hopefully it wont go wrong

She wanted a white TT roadster Tom but there 20kodd.
I suggested getting a TTS & selling both the mini & M3 to fund it but she wants to keep her own car, which is fair enough.
I think the engine & box on the S are better?? We'll give it a go anyway
