Picking up new toy today

Post by Mr-P » Sat Mar 15, 2014 8:12 am

Well later today I will be picking up a new toy to replace my Z3M Roadster that is being collected by its new owner at 10am this morning. The Z3M's new owner is fairly local to me and the chairman of the De Tomaso owners club.

Once he has collected, I can go and collect the new toy, which is a Mini Cooper S with a GTT 220 conversion plus a few other modifications. First ever front wheel drive that I have owned that will be used on track (should be fun)

Nice choice.
I'm not normally a fan of FWD cars but the last BMW Mini I had changed that
The cornering abilities of them will really surprise you .
Enjoy when you get it
