Well I finally took the decision to gracefully retire #88 from the daily commute, she deserves her retirement to a summer weekend/holiday cruiser after serving me so well these past seven years and 63,000miles,
she is now tucked up in the garage under a brand new car cover and a C-tek battery conditioner should be arriving in the next few days to keep her healthy through the cold Winter months ahead.
So I present her new bouncing (it's still on runflats all round!) baby brother, a 2004 Mini Cooper S Chilli pack with 69,800miles, FSH, JCW front bumper, grill and side skirts,
full bi-colour heated leather interior, sports multi-function s/wheel,harmon kardon stereo, rain sensing wipers, auto dimming mirror,
sat-nav (still with the 2004 nav cd in it....) heated front windscreen and a very kind previous owner has changed the earlier xenon headlights to the 2005 spec facelift xenon lights.
I've had it for just over a week now and can't stop grinning when I drive it, the supercharger whine is quite addictive and it handles like a go-cart but it's not a mid-life crisis......honest!
Number 88 has a little brother!

That 63,000 is in my ownership, the total mileage is just over 145,000miles now so it's only right that I keep her away from the salty winter roads
Couple of additions under the bonnet
"What you looking at?"
