You have been busy Dave, it looks great ;D
What tyre dressing did you use? Looks a lot shinier than the AG stuff I've got?

I wish very much that i did go for the S in the first place and regret it big time but have to live with it for now, did look into changing it almost straight away but would have lost to much dosh to upgrade really,cost of running S is expensive as it's thirsty little bugger,so not grumbling about what i get with the Cooper ;D i have already put on stainless performance exhaust which sounds lovely, K&N filter, upgraded silicone leads and put in top notch plugs,and i have coming this week a Bluefin Chip uprade to give approx extra 10 bhp etc etc,see here www.lohen.co.uk/shop/products.php?cat=21and here www.lohen.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=SuperchipsBluefinRemapMiniCooper |

Bluefin has arrived and has been plugged into Mini and took about 4 minutes to do as it stated, i'm really very pleased with the difference it has made and on the basis of this i am thinking about getting the F done in near future ;D ;D ;D TF can also gain a few horses and increased toque ;D www.superchips.ro/chip-tuning/MG/Benzina/TF-1.8-136-Cp.html |

That's a lot of money for not much extra. I could probably get that by blowing the tyres up really hard and polishing the bodywork ;D ;D |

That's a lot of money for not much extra. The UK superchips website quotes an 8 BHP increase on the TF 135 & 160 for £234, which equates to £29.25 per BHP. For comparison the power upgrade kits sold by X-power equated to a cost of £115 per BHP increase for the TF135 and £99 per BHP increase for the 160. So if the gain Superchips claim you will get is actually what you get ( I have my doubts) then the price is actually not too bad. |

i love the new mini, infact if we sell bev's TT i'm trying to persuade her that a mini will be just the job, dave are they a genuine four seater? it's the only doubt that bev has  as it has to be able to carry four adults. |

Hi Lads.
Just found this old post/threads (it's surprising what you do on a 12 hour night shift)
"Quote 23rd March"

and I wasn't far off the mark when I joked about Bev selling the Audi TT and getting a mini, we could branch off into the South Wales Mini Club (SWMC) what do you think Grant/Dave ? ;D
