I only really like the old version of the Mini. I'm just not quite as much a fan of the new version unless perhaps it's a Works version. I just can't stand the look of the Clubman and that stupid, stupid door design they have. I mean, what the freakity hell were they thinking having the only passenger side opening to the rear on the off side. I guess the German designers just wanted the British buyers to awkwardly climb out from the back into on coming traffic.

I'm still not 100% on the new 500 either. I do like the Abarth especially in SS spec BUT I kind of prefer the GP version - I just like the look of it a little more than the 500 I guess.

Gotta say I am also not a fan boy when ti comes to the new version of the mini that 5dr verision of the 500 looks like a 500 stretch limo..I think this was on the cards when you think about it cos the 500 must have been loosing sales to the Panda..

NO cooper talk here or else boys

Now instead of cooper s why not talk about the 210bhp 500 fiat are racing this year (yes I knw you'd like that)

Thew clubman is a hearse for midgets too, really dont see the point in them these days. Im with muppet42, i would actually quite like to own a steel grey Cooper S, gotta be with the supercharger tho, the newer ones really are a bit cack.

I know the ones your talking about, with the lovely supercharger whine

Well, I suppose if it's race tuned it'll pop and rev nicely so that's an acceptable 500 to me
