My New Mini Sport; John Cooper Works Model

March 30, 2025

Before we left for our two months in Bali, my beloved little brown convertible Mini Cooper sadly packed in and so it was time for a new car. I was keen to get another Mini Cooper but upgrade to a sport without a soft top, given the roof leaking issues that caused electrical faults on my old car.

Searching on Auto Trader there were lots of Mini Coopers out there, however I am very particular when it comes to the colour and aesthetics of my car. My preference is muted tones but with a little something different, so the moon grey shade with black bonnet stripes and the stylish Union Jack rear lights was just my vibe.

From the John Cooper Works range inspired by the Minis racetrack heritage, she has a lot of power and looks extra sporty with the spoiler and two exhausts in the middle. I purchased her from a private seller through Auto Trader which meant I got a really good deal on the price. The previous owners had looked after the car well and being made in 2018 with only 26,000 miles on the clock, it was a brilliant find.

The more I drive her around the more I love my new little whip which is certainly a big upgrade on my old 2011 Cooper. Now that I’m thirty it’s out with my baby Bambino, and in with my classy Lady Luna Cooper S ❤

My New Racer Baby; MINI COOPER

April 13, 2021

On April 8th 2021 I officially became owner to a little Hot Chocolate coloured Mini Cooper Convertible. After seeing her advertised on Auto Trader last week, I booked in for a test drive straight away and it was love at first drive. As me and my boyfriend pulled back into the car garage that day, one of my favourite songs ‘Loud Places’ by Jamie XX came on the radio and I knew it was meant to be – this would be my car song ❤

With full black leather interior, fabulous alloy wheels and in that delicious mocha finish, she’s unique and quite the head turner particularly when the soft top is down.

To be honest, I wasn’t necessarily looking for a convertible and it was just a bonus to getting this car. However after taking her out for my first topdown spin on Friday morning, it was so much fun and now I can’t wait for those warm summer days roof down cruising!

As my new little racer baby, I’m also getting gold racing stripes down the bonnet to complete the look. Mini Coopers and racing stripes go hand in hand, so it has to be done right?

Rayban sunnies on, rooftop down and early summer sun glistening as we cruised through English countryside lanes, what a way to kick off a Friday and welcome in the weekend.

I’m now a member of the Mini Cooper Club and ready to dive head first into a summer of fun spinning around in my little yummy mini 😀

Stay Wild Child!
