Well guys, I've been a bit quiet on here recently and it's time to reveal why.
I've bought a new car. :smiley:
I could tell you all what it is but I'll leave it open for a day or two for you to try and guess... :evil:
Don't worry I'm not getting rid of the GTI. "Dom" will be staying but he will be returned to standard and used as more of a daily.
The new purchase is more of a weekend car.
Let the guessing begin :laugh:
-
Weekend car. Hummm Some form of small thing like a Westfield or an Elise?
-
Firstly Congratulations!
My guess would be down the Westfield/Caterham vein but also perhaps an Arial Atom?!?!?
-
have you taken up sailing and bought a mk3 :lipsrsealed:
please dont let it be a mx5 :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

Wishful thinking :cool:
-
Ha ha, I wish it was an ATOM.
Nope. I'll give some clues to narrow down the search.
1) It is turbocharged
2) 4 seats
3) Small Hatchback

A Pepper White MINI Cooper S R56 Works
Couldn't last any longer without a MINI :grin:
-
I'm taking delivery in 6 weeks so will have some pictures up then (unless it's against GTI forum rules :grin:)
-
Oh dear not another hairdresser , dont forget your curlers :grin:
-
Very nice car. So out of interest is that a 6 week delivery from when your ordered? If so take note vw?
-
It is, walked into the showroom today and walked out with an order slip.
Might have been a 4 week delivery period but I'm on holiday so opted for 6 weeks.

Very quick. Very premature compared to VW.
I even know where you are going on holiday!!!!! I don't forget a thing. :grin:
I hope the car will not give you spinal injury as its ride is hard as a corpse on viagra. :evil:
Aaaah. What it is to be young and fancy free......... :cool:

Where are they built?
-
Oxford... they are of course overseen by BMW though.
-
BTW, Congratulations and Jubilations. :smiley:
-
Kudos, they are great cars, I had a Mini Cooper S JCW GP - it was a cracker and wiped the floor with the R32 that I had at the time as my daily motor :huh:
Mine only had two seats though :shocked:
-
oh so a BINI.
A mate at work just swopped his golf for a Cooper S clubman
Don't see why its a weekend car only though and the golf the daily. Think i would have went more extreme or exotic or older.
-

:D :D :D
They are going to need their own section soon.
-
Hope you will be very happy together, mind you it's a bone numbingly hard ride you get from a Mini so if you lose all your teeth before too long don't come crying to us :laugh:
-
Ha ha, yes well that is why it is the weekend car.

I've racked up 42k miles on the GTI in less than 2 years (2 years in September). I'm hoping to keep the mileage down on the MINI so hence the 'weekend' car status. You are right that the car isn't very exotic but I find it great fun to drive (the most fun I have ever had in a car) so it does the job for me.
But as Gilly wisely says, the GTI will provide some welcome comfort when I'm needing a rest :)
-
Why do you want to keep the mileage down on the GTI? If its resale cost your worried about surely you would have been better off not spending ALL that money on a Mini?

I'm not bothered about the Mileage on the GTI hence it will be used most of the time.
Keeping the mileage down on the MINI is not really to do with keeping the value of the car but more to do with just keeping the car that bit fresher for longer. I just want to keep it good.

Fair enough, dont mine me, Im just a bit nosey is all :D

Nice choice Pingu - they are littel pocket rockets
We will waive the GTI rules this once so that we can have some photo porn of the new motor :)
