X'mas Mini



Spotted a BRG (British Racing Green) Cooper S near Simei Eastpoint on Christmas Day. The green, if dashed with a spot of red, will simply get you into the festive mood right?

Ho!Ho!Ho! :)

Mini OT Shift





I was a bit upset having to drive my own car to do OT until I saw plentiful of Mini Coopers. There was 2 at Yishun and 1 at Bukit Timah area I managed to take. I particularly like the red 7 who has the same rims as mine :) hee

Vintage @ Outram

It was a dark night at 85...


when I saw this new Mini Cooper S at 85 market. The owner changed to a carbon fiber air scoop which I feel looks aggressive but spoilt by the thick parallel racing stripes where the Mini badge is.

Night Excursion to Mini Habitat


What a wonderful night to be on duty! My colleague and I had not much news to cover so we stopped by Mini Habitat to see how is it like at night. Beautiful place isn't it? :)


It's so rare on the road that the only place I can find a Mini Cooper S Clubman is at MH lor! But check out the full chrome rims! Breathtaking!


Lastly... currently promoted is the Laser Blue Metallic Mini Cooper S with a white roof. Just looking at the shape, shadows and the shine under the spot light at night gives me goose bumps...

This has got to be one of the best night ever!

Mini E


Only 500 to be sold in the US. The Mini E runs on lithium-ion batteries which can be recharged in only two-and-a-half hours. Quite powerful too. Downside though, the conventional Mini Cooper is a four-seater, but the Mini E is only a two-seater, with the rear seat taken up by batteries. But a small price to pay in a bid to save the environment.

Keeping an eye on my Mini...


Haha... I think I'm "a bit" obsessed with my Mini. It just so happened that I could see my car from where I was staking out during a job. So... might as well take a few shots. Hee :) The yellow body and racing stripes are easy to recognise hor!

Why would anyone want to sell his Mini?



I saw this Mini Cooper S for sale on a online car website. It was really beautifully done up with JCW spoiler, big white rims, sun roof, etc. So I couldn't understand why the owner wanted to sell his Mini, or why would any Mini owner want to sell his Mini when it's as gorgeous as this one. Furthermore, the price for this ride is relatively inexpensive too!

Mini of the "Century"



Yeah! Another yellow Mini Cooper found parked at Tampines Century Square! So yellow is not an unpopular colour afterall! This is an older Mini but still looks cool with the signature checkered roof and side mirror caps.

A Mini Wedding


A couple from my church used a Mini Cooper Cabrio as their wedding car last Sat. It's a match made in heaven! ANd I meant both the couple AND the car... haha :)

Austin Cooper


This was taken a couple of years back. I was already in love with Mini Coopers including vintage ones!

It's V-Kool to own a Mini


Yesh. It's very cool to own a Mini. And one of them was spotted at the V-Kool office during an interview with them!

Afternote: Hmm... I think I need to start changing my angles of the Mini to show a bit more context.

Lakeside Mini



I was covering an event near Japanese Garden when I came across the cabrio. If you look closely, it had some tire marks at the front left bumper (and a broken fog light?)... ouch! Hate to see that happen to a Mini!

A lot of Mini Cooper owners visit the East Coast Parkway over weekends! I saw quite a few of them but could only manage to take one where I parked. It's a white Mini Cooper S!

Your neighbourhood Mini


This Mini One Seven visits my neighbourhood frequently and sometimes park overnight. I like the "7" badge although it is still a Mini One and not a Mini Cooper. White and black never fails to make a Mini look pristine!

Mini @ Ikea


Parked beside a Mini Cooper S "Park Lane" when I went to Ikea Tampines. It's a special edition Mini by the looks of the racing stripes on the bonnet and the chrome side mirrors. A badge at the rear hinted that it underwent some JCW modifications too. Nice!

my MINI dream

Ok. I admit. I have a fetish.

For Mini Coopers.

So much so that I have to write a blog, post photos and rant about Mini(s) I come across so that I would constantly motivate my bank account to achieve my dream. I hope I can save enough in 2 to 3 years, without any adverse effect to the quality and stability of mine and my family's life, to buy this cool car. Also by then, Estelle should be big enough to climb into the back by herself (heh... to remove the discouragement of getting a 2-door). I was closed to getting it before and I dun plan to fail again this time.

Wish me luck!
