Although I could never see myself in one of these 'new' cars I think that's a more than reasonable statement Mr G.

It's not a proper Mini, but it's a Mini nonetheless. Possibly one of the best handling cars I've ever owned.

Isn't it a "MINI" not a "Mini"? I seem to recall from previous rants from folks ;D

(It's a BMW to me, though)

Not driven the most recent facelift one, but previous one wasn't that great for handling. Bloody awful seat as well - 20mins is about my limit in them

within that time, using the  city surrounding motorways I can pass the whole city ;D  if someone pays the fuel :-/

I like that cars too.. but supercharged models can drink fuel like a miggy if you hammer them..

wish they were cheaper here.. :-/

I first consciously came across one of those Mini "Countryman" things on the road this morning. OMG. ;D

Talk about a gopping car. :o

Handles fantastic barring the Tyres, and the seats are superb, been out since 9 this morning, with a couple of coffee breaks all's well in the back :)

Did you get fitted with concrete wellies at birth to keep you rooted in a previous generation?

You are an ex time lord, are you not?

If so, I claim my five pounds sterling.....   ;D


No - this is a Mini - commonly found with A series and driving in Turins sewers
