Excuse the badly cropped poor quality image taken from my phone smile

Is this a custom jobbie? It had a really low roof line and a rear roof spoiler that looked like it was actually part of the roof, that came down even lower than the roof line.

And it was pretty quick!

Definitely the new Coupe. When I first saw one I used to hate them but now I have seen one and sat in one at my local dealer I really like them.

Maybe my next mini purchase.

Adam I am with you there. When I saw the images in Autocar I wondered what they were doing but having seen it in the 'flesh' it is quite nice.

I really think it is a step in the right direction for the brand, they are small again!

Yeah, but it looks tiny in comparison.

Mini's have been getting way too big to keep the name!

Must say they are lot better looking in the flesh.

They only make me feel a bit queasy rather than genuinely nauseous like they do in print.

TBF, BMW have bought the MINI brand so they can do whatever they want with it without anyone's approval.

Er, i was just giving my opinion. They could build a bus and call it a mini if they like, doesn't mean it is 'Mini' though.

Yes it would, and that would be a fact, not an opinion, which is the bit you struggle to understand.

You are beginning to bore me.

you realise that 'Mini' is a descriptive word for 'small', right?

They did not invent the bloody word.

No, you're boring. Even you put a capital letter in the word, which shows that in this context it's a brand not an adjective. Again, fact vs opinion. Live with it.

Good. You're learning too, you didn't put a capital letter in mini.
