Biffa Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My wife would definitely, she'd rip my arm off at the chance for one And I'd not say no to blasting around every now and then when she wasn't look/laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccombie_5 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Biggest fannymagnet ever. That reason alone makes me want one. There was one in Newcastle City Centre recently on a Friday evening, there must have been twenty of Newcastle's elite totty all crowded round it, and the bloke inside was loving it. I think the convertible version of that would go down a storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Mini cabrio not for me, but I fancy one of the limited run current model Minis that's about to be launched to see off the current model before the new one comes in - think it's called the "Mini CR" IIRC from the Fifth Gear review the other day. Still want a Cooper S Works as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problem_Child Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My brother and I went for a wander round the local BMW dealership a couple of weeks ago (there was an F360 in it )- wandering round my brother stopped dead and just stared at a Mini tucked in the corner. Convertible, leather and posh alloys, Works pack, Six months old- £29,995 . Thirty grand for a Mini. In the same showroom was an M3 Cab and a Boxster that only cost a couple of grand more!

CarMad Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 In a word No no oh and No. I can't be doing with follow me lifestyle cars. It looks like a toy that a kid should be playing with. Just my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey Blaa what's up Nope, haven't sold the A3 (yet) just needed a US Spec car (That we could afford) in case I have to go back to the States (soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Absolutely. Fantastic car. I wouldn't hesitate if I was looking for something of that size, it'd be top of my list. Chic, stylish, reliable, well built, superb handling, excellent all round. You just need to look at residuals still to realise they're a cracking car. I've driven a Mini Cooper S Works and had a superb time in it (albeit briefly). It was the archetypal pocket rocket. Indeed, in 3 years time when the eldest reaches 17 I suspect we might be out looking for one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 We looked at a mini cab but went for another beetle cab instead - mini was good, but just severely limited in terms of space. Got offered a very good deal on a JCW cooper S cab thop - very tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Oh and Mook, it's the John Cooper Works (JCW) GP (Grand Prix) that you're thinking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Errr no. I wouldn't. Unless it was an obligatory choice between that and Shao's gay Beetle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
