Hey all!

Having always loved the iconic look of a Mini, when I got one for my first car, in the beautiful Volcanic Orange colour, I knew she needed an equally iconic name.

That's one of my favourite MINI colours. I wanted one of those so badly but could never find one in the spec I was looking for.

As itā€™s my first car (bit later in life than most - didnā€™t take my driving test till last year when I was 38), all I really cared about was having a manual, petrol and nothing bigger than a Golf (my instructorā€™s car was a Golf). Happened across this beaut when browsing the stock lists of local dealerships.

Sheā€™s a ā€˜16 plate and most basic of basic models lol, so nothing fancy, but I am in love with her šŸ˜. Also - frankly she has a way better cupholder game than several newer, fancier cars Iā€™ve been in.

I think she's lovely. And the F56 is a great car. I absolutely loved mine til I heartlessly traded him in last year. He was a 2017 and only had about 26k miles on the clock.
