I think it's one of the nicest colours you can get a mini in John.
It's spotless & her indoors has been told to keep it that way..
I will hardly drive it as it's been bought for students to learn to drive in, I will get my new van soon but need to sell a couple of cars 1st.
We have a mondeo, an Alfa brera, a corsa, my van & now the mini sitting at the house & it's only me & the wife that drive.
It's starting to look like a garage forecourt..

Nice looking little car. I live not too far away from where the famous John Cooper Works were based, funny little unassuming car garge in the middle of no where. When I first came across it I had to double check that it was in fact THE John Cooper Works as it seemed so small. It's no longer there now as the family sold the premises in around 2006. The guy was a legend!

Just don't do red really Stef, it's a football thing. I do like the Mini though, my Missus was fancying one for family car but when she got in the BMW she soon changed her mind!!!

Ah got u john, bit like me, I'm not keen on a certain "Green"
I can't believe how well built that car is, solid clunk when you shut the doors etc.
I stuck it on cruise on the m6 @ 95mph & it was sitting at 2700 revs, it's the 1.6 diesel & it can shift.

The speedo must be reading 25mph fast as I'm sure you wouldn't have been speeding would you!
