Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends electric*

Mmmmm... very nice. Although I'd rather have the grey one you also once owned, what with it having sound deadening and all.

My current Cooper S is your ex-Cooper S, no? I love it even though it just made me pay £450 for it to go through its MOT.

Your new one is one of the best R50/53 colours, like. Looks ace. Will be even better with the 15" steelies on.

Sorry I can't hear you over my road and exhaust noise.

Those 17"s are massively heavy, little wonder these things ride so badly with that much unsprung weight hanging off them.

I bet that was interesting on wet cobbles :)

R50s are handsome wee buggers I think. Smashing colour too, all the better that you can see lots of it from inside the car too.

Wash your mouth out mate. It's an R53.

Very low speed. The glove box still fell open though. It does if you as much as fart though.

Number 5 then please.

No mate. I think everyone is just getting a bit pre-emptive.

Bought my first R53 a couple of months ago, think they have been breeding as I now have  three and a forth on the way. Future classic - they will not stay thus cheap with the amount being broken at the minute.

Let me know if you need any bits ?

I ust had one of those e-mails from Blackcircles as well, though mine is to tell me the time requested 10AM (I actually requested 12 midday!) is not available and it has been re-scheduled for 2;00pm.

So, mines better than yours! :)

You win. 

I've used them three times and this has happened 2 out of three times. Can't take any more time off work so if they can't fit me in on Saturday, it'll be a refund I think.

In fact, I like it so much, I think I'm going to roffle it and spend a lot more money on a really good one.

To buy it outright,  just what I paid which was £700. 

Find a cheaper one with a long mot and no issues!
