So she's been searching for a new car after having three MINI Cooper S' - the latest being a massively specced 57 plate

Her criteria was she wanted something abit bigger in the boot, but still 'cool'

Today, I think we've cracked it

A MINI Clubman Cooper S?!

They even do a John Cooper Works smile

So, I've searched Pistonheads, eBay, Gumtree, Auto Trader, MINI Cherished, and Exchange And Mart

Is there anywhere else I can look?

I've heard bars are a good place to replace your girlfriend

Was my reaction on first seeing the clubman.

Look at the sun for a bit. Then you'll be able to put up with living with a Clubman afterwards.

Clubman is fine, it's the Countyman that is the runt.

Minis are for hairdresser apprentices and their bosses.

Yeah. Was getting confused there. I quite like the clubman. But the countryman, my ex wife had one, not bad on the inside but looked like a Saturday night huey on the outside.

Having had a ride in two MINI's I've been deeply underwhelmed with both. I put the first ones rattles down to only having a piece of canvas for a roof, but the second one had a proper roof. I'd expect better quality than that on a Kia Picanto.

Comments like that always come from those with no cars in their 'Garage'. Funny.

I often drive my wife's MINI and I'm not involved in the hairdressing industry in any way.
