So the hire car has arrived

A some of you will know my car got hit on Friday whilst parked up at work by a BIFFA truck. Took damage to the bumper, wing and drivers door.

On the phone to the hire the place on Saturday and they said I will be having a Mini Cooper S delivered on Monday...............they failed to tell me it was a convertible :nope:

So keep an eye out for a lad driving a convertible Mini, I will be the one with the bag over his head
 
you will be fine just park outside a hairdressers or estate agents and no one will notice :eek:
 
Sorry to hear that.

Sorry I got confused other thread about this. I was looking the pic then I post it but didn't read other post. :oops:
 
yeah to be honest Im looking forward to having a good drive of it, just wish it wasnt a convertible. I moved it to a parking space when it got dropped and you cant see jack s**t through the rear window, really bad design.
 
:tongueout:ics:

Preferably with the roof down and you in the driving seat for our amusement....
 
Well heres two pics and im sorry but I aint putting the roof down..........I dont know how to :smiley:

dont know yet mate, will find out tonight when I drive home although most of my time is spent bumper to bumper lol. Will try and plant it when possible and see what she goes like. I've always wanted a JCW so if this is good it could well sway me.
 
Doesn't look too bad mate!

And a reply to your last post above ^. I wouldn't let a Cooper S drive sway you from buying a JCW mate they are totally different :smile:. I bought a Cooper S and traded it in 6 days after for a JCW and they are a world apart..
 
Ah ok gotcha! The Cooper S is a great car to drive, fun and powerful on low revs but don't go into corners like you would on the R27. TRUST ME from a former R27 owner haha!!

The JCW though you can push it as much as the R27.

No pictures yet, it has been raining pretty much EVERY day since i got it. Including snow :worried: But will get some up over the next few weeks :smile:
