    We picked up our Coupe with 65 miles on it last Saturday and it now has 1004. Trying to take care of that pesky break in period...

    I must say, after 100k in a MINI with an automatic, it feels absolutely fantastic to get back into a MINI with a manual transmission!

    Looks great!

    I'd love to see more pics. One time I sat in a Coupe, but I know little about how they drive.

    Thanks!

    Thanks. What's interesting is my wife told me to lose the chrome and that the wheels would look better black. Who am I to argue?

    I hadn't really sat in one until I test drove this one. Feels like a cockpit and, with the windows down, it's quieter at highway speeds than our clubman is or the hardtop was. Pics are coming once I take a break from motoring!
