I must buy one  :o Had a good old battle with one earlier all the way up to 150 MPH, where eventually I crept past slowly, pulled over and had a chat with the bloke, he's 40 BHP down on my MINI, but they're a bloody strong performer  :o They're lovely cars though, nice and roomy in the back, I like them  8-) £33,000 though he paid.

My first car was a Mini Countryman 1963 half-timbered type - it never went that fast in fact I think it only had 40BHP!

£33000 ;D ;D ;D
the phase
a fool and his money springs to mind

£33000 for a Mini :o :o ;D ;D

£33k on a Mini  :o :o :o :o

Think i'd rather have a Monaro and a VXR8  8-)

They've done the overpriced hatchback that looks like a Mini, the overpriced estate that looks like a Mini, the overpriced SUV that looks like a Mini..

Can't wait to see what an abortion they make of the GT coupe that looks like a mini and the 2 seater sports car that looks like a Mini. ;D

Oh.. Won't have to wait long, it seems....

:o  ;D

no no no no no

Had one of the first of the new MINIs when they came out in 2001 and loved it, had another one better specced a year later.....

However.....

I think the new variants are nothing short of terrible.....

Pig, pig ugly and seriously overpriced.....
