Got a new/old daily shitter!

[Trawler]

Glad to hear you are all ok & at least it wasn't Cesil you had written off.

[0836whimper]

Sorry to hear that Shimmy. On to the next one I guess.

Here's my new daily (from Elms Bedford.....just be clear, it's not mine)








Ridiculously refined, like a Limo. All the nav/ipod/bluetooth integration gadgets, lights in door handles and footwells, and two coffee cup holders.

No idea what gear I am in half the time as you can't hear the engine.

[shimmy]

I like....




I'm after a run around for summer this weekend, Mini Cooper S sub £4k

[shimmy]

Got two grey Cooper S lined up..........both 62k 2004 chilli pack, a/c 2 owners, FSH, tidy cars, one trade and one private, a few hundred difference but both contenders.

Any ideas what I should check on the Cooper S?

Check how noisy the power steering is it make a little noise but should not wine like a pig
also check the central door locking is all working and it has 2 keys they are a small fortune also the
rear boot release
check for oil leaks as they are bad for this and the dipstick breaks check the oil as i seen 2 with no oil in them :whistle:

Last but not least give it the message if you are not buying it :whistle:

[shimmy]

well had the CooperS now for 5 days and even though the mrs told me it isnt practical and I shouldnt buy it........she has had it every day since Monday.

massive thanks to Elms who held a trade car for me but in the end I found a well looked after private car in Grey/black, no run flats, full bmwsh, just had Insp2 at bmw, seems like a genuine family with baby on the way and just swapped to an E92M3 and Evoque.

Ill tell you what its like when ive driven it

Well done Shimmy. I feel better about mine now although I bought a Mini GP which comes complete with a carbon fibre spoiler :-D. Great for around town and not bad on some fast road with a top speed of 149mph and a s supercharger to boot.

Eight months on and I am still a little unsure - bi curious - ?

Ps remember your braking distance at 70mph ~ 315ft :whistle:
