MINI Countryman

I must buy one Shocked

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 Shocked

They're lovely cars though, nice and roomy in the back, I like them Cool

£33,000 though he paid.

*Please note all the above figures are lies and I would do no such thing on a public road.

Apr 2011 at 10:39 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. Oh.. Won't have to wait long, it seems....

Apr 2011 at 16:49 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.....

Buy a Skoda Superb mate if you like room in the back, anything else is just a disappointment !!!

Thumbs Up!
