But you can get an early S for £11K now, so it's becoming within reach of the "saturday night on the seafront" crowd.

At one of the last run's the carpark at the finish ended up one of the, erm, less intelligent S drivers taunting the local kids in clio's and showing them how fast an S could spin it's wheels in a car-park. Not the best publicity for MINI2.

- these are the sad folk who will damage the 'S' image - Maybe Chav's the wrong term.

I'm old enough to remember when the Sierra Cosworth was a respected motor-car, before it became cheap and developed a yob reputation - I worry about the S going the same way - and 'S' prices are starting to fall.

I was gonna get an 'S' someday, but to be honest I don't want to be associated with the image now. - I'll have a one-clicked One , and buy a track-day car with the change, I think.....
