So after 3 years with my Audi A6 I decided to change to something completely different.
For those who don't know me this was my Audi...
Nothing wrong with it but I wanted better economy, cheaper tax and more importantly something more fun and interesting to sit in!
So after a lot of looking around I decided on the 2015 Mini Cooper SD.
At 170bhp, 265 lbs/ft and a million kg lighter than the Audi it should be fun to drive but easier on the pocket with over 70mpg for my 220+ miles weekly commute.
It will be my first ever brand new car and I got a bit excited on the extras haha.
Car spec will be:
- Metallic midnight black paint
- half leather black carbon seats
Chili pack which includes:
- multifunction steering wheel
- 17" Cosmos alloys in gloss black
- velour floor mats
- passenger seat height adjustment
- extended storage pack
- excitement pack
- MINI driving modes
- rain sensor and auto headlights
- climate control
- interior lights pack
- LED front foglights.
- John Cooper Works leather steering wheel
- John Cooper Works rear spoiler
- Roof rails
- Armrest
- Heated seats
- Anthracite roof lining
- Glowing red colour line
- Cruise control
- LED headlights
- MINI Heads-up display
- Visual boost radio
- MINI connected
- Sat Nav
Plus standard options of
- Tyre pressure monitoring
- Body coloured mirrors
- Piano black interior trim
- DAB digital radio
- White indicator lenses
I went into the dealer the other day to sign the paperwork and got a sneak peak of the car as it had just been delivered albeit it was filthy.
Here are some iPhone photos I grabbed...

So get it next Tuesday then straight off to see my friend who runs a tinting/wrapping business and getting rear windows tinted and the chrome round the grill and front/rear lights wrapped in gloss black.
Also ordered a shorter roof aerial from Mini. Plus my shorter 5 digit plates to go on.
Cannot wait to get it!
Hope you guys like it and not too many "its a girls car" lol
