Looks like we're going to the tech park so it's not really convenient for the train unless I want to go in earlier and get home later. No decision yet but we can get 12k sq ft and 45 parking spaces for the same price as the other place we were looking at, which was 6k sq ft and 5 parking spaces!

What do I know about BMW pastiches?

Sorry, but there is only one Mini and it was designed by a bloke called Alec.

My girlfriend managed to get £350 off of her cooper at the start of December - it'd been ordered in and then not bought for whatever reason, not too bad considering it's a good colour and spec.

What do you think of the MINI to drive though? I really don't like it, the ride's appalling, it just understeers (a bit like a real one) and the steering's false and numb

Its still a nice car, and certainaly well built, just abit dull - and where it matters not at all like the real thing.

I like it. Seriously! I think it is fun to drive and it might sound corny but it makes me smile when buzzing into and around town. And, for a wee runaround car, I think you get a car thats pretty well screwed together, has a bit more character than most of the competition, and holds its value pretty well too. More to the point... Wendy likes it too.

I have had a couple of Original minis and liked them too. I guess its horses for courses.

My GF has a MINI diesel and i love it to bits.

Great contrast to the VX and good fun to chuck about - tis a bit bouncy on 16" and run flat though!

Unfortunatley it might be getting replaced with a company 4x4
