All About The Minis

Finally found a car I'd trade my 320d tourer for!

Side shot Sunday! 😉

Erm Mini and a Mini: my JCW on swimming squad duty in Manchester 😉

Met an old friend today... 😉

Overnight stay at Caffeine and Machine!

Phwoar - red car club!

Nipped across the Pennines to have the exhaust tweaked, and had to stop on the top for a few pics.

Sun's out, really showing off the champagne wheels!

Check out my Diesel! 😉

Sometimes you just have to share joy. ♥️

I'll throw another in, for good luck!

Anyone for a Wheel Wednesday?

New phone let's me do fuzzy pics too!

Lovely day for a good wash!

If you squint really hard, you can see I've installed the Zunsport grille set to give some protection to the radiator that Mini thought it was OK to leave exposed and vulnerable!

Yay, roof down day! 🌞

Yeah, I also test drove the new petrol Cooper, and that pumps sound through the speakers. Wasn't terrible, but I don't like the thought of fake noise, hence I bought the last of the manual JCWs, without the fake noise! May well keep it forever!

I test drove the old electric Mini a while back and it was great fun. Just can't get my head around not having a lovely combustion noise.

Also made by the guy who told everyone in the UK to vote brexit, then set up production outside the UK... in the EU! 😂

Wow. Just wow.

Always loved a Panda. My mum had the original when I was a kid. Had deck chairs for seats, but was such a joy filled car!

Did like the standard wheel colour scheme, but think I do prefer the new. Plus they kind of match the dog now!

Just want to add my name to others in solidarity with you and your community. I almost don't like saying 'your community', as we are all one and the same, and should be treated with equality and dignity. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday.

Time for the big wheel refurb reveal (annoyingly with a dirty car and dull weather...)!!

Here we have OEM MINI Vibrant Silver base colour (more gold really) with diamond cut!

Can't wait for the sun so we can really see the contrast.

Should note, the colour is OEM MINI Vibrant Silver, which they've brought out as trim and wheel colour for the latest generation. Trying to be different but stick with OEM...

Cheers, and not finished yet...

The wheel refurb is coming together...

They can't do everything, but nine times out of ten they'll do the job.

No myth. Had damage several times on several cars over the past decade and a bit, and always got home on runflats.
