Congrats, you have joined the club. make sure you check out www.clubmini.com.au and www.mini2.com

Babes and myself are also NEW MINI owners. I used to have a 02 Cooper ( infact first into QLD With one!!)

The Clubmini runs are a lot harder than the old mini club ( ie much faster)

Cheers Brett

Nice. I also have a BINI, Red/Black 07 JCW. Very impressed, will be doing a write up soon to coincide with 6 months of ownership, which was yesterday :shock:

I'm not a new MINI owner but I am a regular moocher! :P

I like them, they are good, well put together cars and still handle relatively the same (I notice the size difference though, new ones don't feel as 'chuckable' as a classic).

You should still have heaps of fun in it though! It's the next best thing to driving a classic mini everyday IMO.

actually the R56 minis handle better than the old minis. Espcially with the sports suspension and JCW SEATS

Nah, I have the std Chilli style seats and R56 key. I don't mind button clicking, I do it when people walk near the car so they think it's an alarm or something. It would have been a nice option though.

I wish I got the auto darkening rear view mirror option, the std mirror is so annoying to change over....

The car feels like the original to drive to me, much more so than most Mini owners would believe too.
