**Update**: The car has arrived! See here it 🙂

So, I’ve just indulged in some major retail therapy and bought myself a new car! I’ve ordered one of the brand new Mini’s (Cooper S) in Blazing Red with a white roof and black wheels. Looks pretty cool 🙂

There are lots of gadgets you can order as well and I sort of got a bit carried away and went for just about all of them – Heads Up Display, parking assist, driving modes, variable suspension, sat nav, large display, Comfort access, LED lights and most importantly coloured interior lights 🙂

The only problem now is that I have to wait ages for it – April! Come on Mini get a move on and build it!!
