Weather has been dreadful of late mate so I can understand.
Truth be told, this is the first time I've washed it myself since Christmas Eve.....!
The dealer gave it a quick wash in February but nothing is as good as spending time on it yourself.

I used up the last of my TLC service pack with MINI yesterday at the dealer.
I also go to my Independent MINI specialist in between official services so I'll just go to them from now on.
Had a look around the showroom and spotted a nice year old MINI hatch with MINI individual colour paint, one of 300 made in Caribbean Aqua.
Had a look at the figures but would be too costly to move up.
I'd miss the convertible too much so I have decided to keep it, certainly for the moment.
My four year PCP runs out in two years time when I have to decide either to buy it or trade it in for something else.
My only slight concern is the big mileage i'm doing, mainly my work commute.
It's on 72,500 kilometers at the moment, i'm doing about 32,000 kilometers a year.
But I service it way before the official times so I am looking after it, so it will be fine.
The main thing is I LOVE the car :)

Oh my goodness is that perfect! My R52S "Charlotte" really needs a good washing. Our new hound enjoys riding in the front seat all harnessed in that I'm relegated to the back when my wife drives. Anybody that's ever taken the back in a MINI cabriolet knows how tight that is!

Especially an R52 as the rear seats are very upright in those compared to the F57.
Glad your dog enjoys it 8)

Definitely a fun car. My friend has the R53 and R56 and prefers the 53 to drive. If it's in good shape it will be a blast.

Yes they sure are! Feels like a church pew. Glad I never spend more than about 30 minutes back there. Gus got all tangled up in back and somehow doesn't in the front. Maybe it's an act so he gets the best seat.

Cheers. Also planning to look at an Audi A3 3.2. (Not really a proper driver's car. But makes a great noise.)
