Hi Mick,
like you the Premium Plus was a no brainer! So that’s what I’ve went for too
3 white cars in a row I’ve had and I told myself this time “No White” but what have I when for? Nanuq White ??♂️?
When I started looking at them Moonwalk Grey was an option and that is what I had my heart set on but that’s been discontinued now
Nanuq White is new to the Mini range , Mineral White in BMW language , I saw a few lovely Beamers outside the dealers shining away in the lovely Scottish Winter Sun ( it happens… honestly ) then a Mini Cooper inside the dealers and my mind wa made up
like you did, I too watched all the videos on You Tube and spent hours on the configurator chopping and changing colour schemes , sometimes too much choice is hard work eh? Like you say.. 1st world problems n all
so final decision is
Premium Plus Auto
Nanuq White
Red Roof & Mirror Caps ?
18 inch run flats – they were on the car I test drove for 4 hours and I was more than pleasantly surprised – tbh I much prefer them aesthetically so unless they felt like the wheels from the Flintstones car I was always going for them lol
Aluminium Dash Styling thingy ( just to get rid of the piano gloss black stuff )
Black belt line – which replaces the chrome strip that goes right round the car
I ticked the free adaptive suspension too!
did you make sure you ticked that? Cos even though it’s a free option you don’t get it if you don’t select it
so there really wasn’t anything else worth getting
in for a penny in for a pound and all that
i looked at their factory privacy glass and it wasn’t dark enough for me, so I’ll arrange the windows to get tinted by a local company ( who I’ve used on my current and previous cars )
That will get done before I pick it up , just so it’s all ready for me to enjoy
So I wonder who will get theirs first ??♂️?
No one knows what the state of affairs will be in 3/5 years , the electric options may be more attractive by then so like you say this could be one final swansong in an ice motor and one thing life has taught me these past few months is that nothing is guaranteed , so just enjoy what you can while you can ??
thanks for mentioning my little man who I lost ?❤️
Do you have a family , just wondering what their reactions have been to your new order?
I don’t have much of a social circle these days ( quite the opposite lol )
but I haven’t told anyone , cos I knew they’d be like… you’ve ordered a Mini ??♂️??♂️??♂️
So I’ll wait till they get into the passenger seat and show them it’s got a bit more oomph than a blow dry at a hairdresser ?
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!
