Well, this is the car that kinda helped with the splitting on the red sleeper. Drove it back from the city today and its quite nice, this is quite a basic Mini Cooper, only extras are the white bits, pepper pack (aircon and trims) and darkened rear glass which is quite a treat. I'm already getting nods from other Mini owners, but this could possibly be a double take because its a bloke driving it  .
I'll be offering haircuts from tomorrow onwards 
The car is a company car, so i pay some sort of extra tax every month which isnt too bad. The seats are a let down I must say, not sure what I can do about that but meh, lets see how I get along, thanks for reading.

where the rev counter is (in front of you) there is a digital miles per hour read out which can be changed for MPG/petrol left etc

just think about it, me in my special hat and crocs, and you in a flowery dress and a wig. We can drive into that field/dirt track where you tested out the HID's.
