Just bought a Mini Cooper All4 Paceman for the wife, should be picking it up next week.I had never even driven a Mini until Saturday and don't really know a great deal about them tbh.I usually do loads of homework before I buy a car, but just walked in to the showroom, seen one, sat in one and bought the one they had out the back.Great little car, really looking forward to picking it up.

Well wear.

I'd say I may have to do something similar at some stage in the future.

I bought a low-mileage '06 GP recently as a toy and my missus has fallen for it and reckons she'd gladly exchange her Octavia VRS for a "full size" Mini i.e. on with more than 2 seats.

I'd never really paid much attention to the Mini range (other than the GPs) until recently but I have to admit they are great fun cars.

Good work. I really like the paceman - looks great in that colour combo as well.

I have a 5 month old Countryman Cooper and am really happy with it.

Enjoy.

Anyone from here going to the Launch night at Cooper Tunbridge Wells they have a huge event on with Classic Mini's a new GP and Goodwood and the main attraction the new Paceman also have open forums on cherished MINI's workshop tours and even talks on the MINI connected. Also being filmed for TV, they are really going to town the event starts at 6pm.
Mark Paceman is also going to be at the brand centre that evening too.

Also I'm going on their MINI run at Tunbridge Wells from the dealership to Hastings this Sunday all free just turn up!

Looks like a huge weekender for the Mini massive!!! smile

Be careful not to mention the dealership name you bought it from as MINI are really hot on people not being allowed to see the Paceman prior to it's launch on Saturday.

I've sold a couple and have the people coming to look this weekend.

Picked it up on Monday.Great little car, just need some decent weather so I can have some fun in it.
The dealer said they sold four at the launch over the weekend, so maybe its not going to be as rare as I thought.

We just saw the paceman in the mini magazine and my wife really fancies one.

Our local dealers rubbish and even after buying two new minis off them we still dont get invites to launches (i assume they have them).... no such problem from Merc.

I'm now in an SD ALL4 Auto Paceman as my demo and love it, I find the ride quality soooo much better than the Countryman which is still great but slightly soft for my liking.

In terms of new orders I have taken 2 myself and I believe we have had another couple of orders too.

Sat in a Paceman at Mini Park Lane yesterday (having just done a lap of Hyde Park and slightly sweaty) and really liked it.

Preferred the matt silver with full options Countryman they had next to it at £40k though. Looked awesome with the black roof and JCW alloys.
