I ordered it new after having an R50 Cooper.

I first got it on 1st September 2007. When I ordered the car I did not think the Crown Spokes were for me. So I asked about the R99's.
When I collected the car I had the option of 2 R99's and 2 Crown Spokes or wait another week to get second pair of R99's.
Here are a few pictures.

Cracking MINI

What's next for it?

Bigger brakes?

Fix the engine? 2 more toyos. Some carbon fibre maybe.

Didn't want to bring that up.....hope you get that fixed asap Oliver ;-)
But the Toyo's and carbon sound great!!

I got a date of 10th August for it to be in Cahir. Hopefully then that will be the end of that problem.

Its not gone in yet, but first impressions are much better.

You will be well looked after by David and the lads in Morrison MINI , customer service is excellent and they take their aftersales role and customer relations as a key to future growth . other Miniclub members have had warranty work done there and are happy to travel to Cahir again should the need arise .

Hope that you got on okay in Cahir today Oliver!

My car is in the garage at the moment and they will be fitting a new timing chain tensioner and if necessary a new timing chain. They have also given it a service. I am driving a BMW 118d 3 door while they do this work.

Hope that this will fix it for you Oliver, for once and for all!
