What do you think then....March 2006? April 2006? Before Where do I start? I could with the fact only a few months on and the Mini has got to go. For some reason she has come to realise only over recent months that she is uncomfortable in the car.

No this time it won't happen. She will a Mini for an extended test drive for Sat & Sun next week. She is not allowed to buy another car in her life without doing this in future.

I'd stick her in a MINI ONE to be honest.....there's more than enough room for her to stick some shopping in and they have good residuals.....being a woman ultimate peformance is unlikely to be an issue

She did look at all of them and felt most comfortable in the Copper. I wanted her to get the S or the Works version but with a manual change and she was having none of it. Good little cars, they sure handle well.

Why do you call it a copper? Isn't it a Cooper?

What colour you going for and what spec/add ons and when do you expect to get it?

We could pop over some time, with Rachels mini if you fancy a mini meet

I am very tempted by the S works myself but, whats the point of having two fast fuel guzzling cars. We drove back from Ely today in the Mini on the B roads and were getting an average of 41mpg. Thats a fantasy in the S2000.

Chrome line interior sounds cool, I really don't like the grey plastic interior they install by default. Sounds like you've got some sensible mods in there mate, September is gonna be a realllllly long way off. Will be in touch soon about swirls, Lee.
