What car should I get? - Page 8

No I'm just not bothered about looking gay, I'm quite comfortable in my sexuality and if other people want to get the wrong idea thats OK, I'm sure I can intercept them before they actually penetrate me. Although in your case I might make an exception

lets write to clarkson and get them to do a mini test on some top selling current hatchbacks + the old mini for Will's sake

Ohhhhhh dear

I seem to have convinced myself that the Cooper Works Ungrade to 210bhp is a good idea, no point in buying a car which is slower than the Clio and it comes with uprated brakes and suspension

.

I blame it on the residuals, I'll lose less on the Mini in 3 years than I would on the S3 and by God its more fun. I haven't even driven a Cooper Works conversion get and the plain S felt fast enough

I understand that a lot of people hold the old Mini up as an iconic car, thats because it is, its the car of the 2000th century without a shadow of a doubt, changing so much about how cars have developed since.

The New Mini, like New Labour is a complete reinvention of the concept nothing like the original with new features and with a slight nod in the direction, as such they have different uses and audiences.

I can't hate the new Mini just because I loved the old Mini, but unlike some I can hold my prejudice and see it as a tribute, and my god its fun to drive

The Mini dealership near me had a Works in yesterday in blue and it looked gorgeous. Really, really nice in dark blue.
