Nice car man.....a Mini with a hairdryer! (turbo)

I love the design of the center gauge cluster with the stero built into it. Cool as

[Shawn]

Really nice car mate! Is it the new Mini?

[Austere]

That's a pretty decent car you've got there especially for a man as young as yourself.

FYI in the fourth pic we can see most of your number plate and in the seventh pic we can see that you listen to Nova.

[unknownspeedster]

shawn - yes that is the new new mini cooper
Austere - yer, pretty luck that things worked out for me and was able to get one of these beasts and yes i am a closet nova radio listener

[Shawn]

What genre is Nova for the one or two non-Aussies that come on FG?

[unknownspeedster]

nova a mix of everything really but pop predominantly, I only listen to it for the breakfast show,

[unknownspeedster]

[unknownspeedster]

[kaBOOMn]

....use scotch instead.....its about the same colour.....

You've got excellent taste there unknownspeedster Love the black paint and love the white leather. Also love the black roof lining and piano black wood - they make the difference!

I also hate Victoria sometimes, but for different reasons

But yeh - I hate my state as well when I hear that other states can run around in turbo cars etc etc

*cough*

I.. may.. fall into that category. Gotta love SA sometimes, I can drive just about anything!

As I said before, very, very nice! I'm jealous.. Here's hoping you'll stick with it for more than 8 months, though!

[Lurch0001]

Nice ... very, very nice. So, coming to Sydney on a road trip soon?

[unknownspeedster]

SL65 - i do love the colour combo but its probably the worst to keep clean, the black gets dirty and the piano black gets load of finger prints and the cream is also dirty
Dsemaj - shh you, i do hope to keep this more then 8 months, ive already paid for 12 months worth of insurance j/k
Lurch0001- hahaha, "if i have to"

err you can to depending when you got your license?

The old system (which most current people are on) is based on power to weight of less the 125kw which actually made sense rather than the retarded system imported from a state run by morons (i'm looking at you iemma and that previous idiot carr)

[unknownspeedster]

Us South Aussies have nothing like these limits, we just do our test go for 12 months on p1 which is the usual young driver restrictions, then we got to p2 which last for another 12 months and is simply the same and allows not to have to display p plates at all pretty much left alone in regards to engine sizes and limits

[AiR]

You wizards from Oz are strange indeed. An 18 year old isnt allowed to drive anything at any speed it would seem. Import any other system it'll be better, ours is "take your license, drive anything". The americans go with just "drive anything" from age 14 and I suppose that's a bit steep.

As for the car, I like everything except the central speedo. I can't stand those.
