GP pickup – Goonery
Another UK GP owner; this time GP#0205 belongs to Goonery- see this MINI2 post:

UPDATE: Some quotes from Goonery about his GP driving experience so far (see this MINI2 post):
… I cannot say I’m impressed because that won’t convey just how good it really feels … the suspension … gets a little bit jiggly due to the lightweight , big rims and rubber band tires, but it never feels out of shape or uncomposed.
… its very quick from 30-60 or 50 to 70 for example …
… Fit and finish of parts and paint is all it should be, the whole package is a credit to the marque and I’m thrilled to be able to drive it. The interior dial treatment at night is fabulous, more red than orange Seats are grippy, firm and comfy. Just one happy bunny here …
Cautionary note: the front bumper has quite a low clearance out towards the corners of the car, watch out for speed bumps and kerbstones. I have spotted it in time, but its probably lower in these areas but maybe 2 inches than a standard S bumper

Wow what a stunner! Initial postings questioned the skirt, I think the grey looks good.
The car isn’t bad either.
