Default New car after STI bottom end went

Hey all as you might no my STI blew its bottom end (stripping as we speak)

Well went out to 'look' at cars and came out with purchasing a new car lol

Its a 2004 Mini Cooper 'S'





Its done 41k with full BMW service history and has every optional extra bar the satnav inc

Chilli Pack - e.g. Trip computer
17" Alloys
Heated Leather Seats
Parking Sensors - Sales women said was quite rare option as such a small car lol
Visibility Pack - e.g. heated washer jets & mirrors
Cruise Control
Full AUTO Climate Control
Traction Control
Stability Control
Cornering Brake Control
Tinted Windows

Purchased from lincoln Soper main dealer comes with 12 months unlimited milage warrenty, 12 months mot, 6 months tax

Its a lovely car to drive, obv not as fast as the scooby but impressed with it, i like nippy small cars.

Picking it up monday after its been mot'd, etc

Not allowed to modify it until the warrenty runs out

New mini is a nice car, my son's Girl has one but they are really only two seaters as I found out when they gave me a lift! My lad is over 6ft tall and no way could I fit in the back behind Him! Luckily His other half is somewhat shorter.....
