Well wear Ferg, so how does she compare to the r56/r53.

by **MiniMpi** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 11:08 pm

Obviously very similar to the R56 I had but seems way better in the handling dept. though!
More surefooted or something.
Well Happy with her.
Thanks Rob :thumbright:

Does this mean the MPI is "semi-retired"

?

by **MiniMpi** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 11:14 pm

It is always 'semi-retired'!!! But just love driving her too much so never get's 'retired' for a sleep!! :blob5:

Well 'Clubby' passed 5000km's the other day.
So I treated her to a full wax!!
And waxed the Crown Spoke alloy's too.

So does that mean you can put it into 5th gear now Ferg?

by **MiniMpi** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:08 pm

Yip, and 6th gear too!! lol

The 'Sport' button is great crack!

I finally got my new Tyres fitted to my newly acquired JCW R95 18" Alloys :1icon_exclaim:

So the Clubby finally matchs my 'sig' photo!! lol

Delighted with the difference of going from runflat fitted 17" alloys to Good ordinary tyres on 18" Alloys. Major improvement on the ride and comfort. Huge improvement on the grip and handling, and doesn't go all over the place if you go over a manhole cover anymore!!! :1icon_eek:

Thank God

Overall thrilled with them and the looks.....Smoking :1icon_cool:

Next upgrade will be JCW Cooper S drilled and slotted bigger brake disc's for the front :happy7:

Just picked up this month's Modern MINI Magazine, and there at the bottom right of page 47, is Clubby! There's a great write up, and a good plug for the club too.

Looks fantastic Ferg

Oh COOL

Delighted it made the mag

Thanks for that Owen, will pick up a copy today if i can.

Ferg
You kept that quiet!! Wow, it is a great read.. Congrads! Hope you got a copy if not I can give you mine! No worries!! I like the way they say 'The Spec is Awesome', and 'the fact that we're sure it'll be pounding the streets of Ballincollig , Co. Cork, Fergal's home town! :wav:

by **Derfinn** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 12:24 pm

Looking very good Fergal!

Lightnight Blue definately knocks the socks off the Hot Chocolate in pictures! Hope everyone is voting away to make sure you'll win the turtle wax!
