hearing loud noise and thats it?

mooneymini · Jun 4th, 2006, 12:32 PM

i saw one of those just outside of cowley on my way to work on thursday.... it was covered in black plastic though... but you could see the difference - especially in the more protruding rear end.
If i didnt have a collegue in the car at the time i would have done my best to get a piccie - had my 5mp at the ready !

(saw you too GR33NIE in wheatly the other day

)

Nice work on the spy shots.

I have seen a few about Oxford on the ring road, but while on holiday in Canadalast week I saw what I think was THREE new variant convertibles (certainly different to my 06) and rode one as well!

Luckily I got a pic!

I know!

And what happened with the hidden windscreen wipers?!!

zyo · Jun 5th, 2006, 07:27 PM

I was thinking that after quickly looking at one of the spy shots the other day but then on closer inspection i noticed that the bottom of the wipers is indeed hidden underneath the bonnet line

What is the deal with the headlights??

I love MINI, Laura · Jun 8th, 2006, 01:42 PM

Theres black masking around them as they have changed them and don't want to show too much off and hide as much as they can. But there is only 2 sets of lights instead of the 3 that we have at the moment.

Paul · Jun 8th, 2006, 01:52 PM

They're really poor photos, and don't really show anything new as it's so heavily disguised. Always good to see more, but we've seen much better than that already.

I love MINI, Laura · Jun 8th, 2006, 03:24 PM

Thats what I thought, can't even see the big boot handle but its nice to see true life pics of the new model. Definately not photoshopped at least!

Sadly, I spotted nothing of note, 07 model wise, on said plant tour. Still had a great time though.

richhamer · Jun 25th, 2006, 03:35 PM

Theres a guy accross from me that works at the factory.
Was in my kitchen about half an hour ago when he pulled up in a prototype 07. Couldn't believe it was right outside!
He'd got it in the garage before I could get the camera. Guess I'll just have to get back to kitchen and wait for him to get it back out!!

what you waiting for, go break into his garage, if he catches you tell him you were chasing off some kids and came armed with a camera so to get photo's of the culprits

Shorty · Jun 25th, 2006, 03:41 PM

Wait till kick off time and get in there!

Paul · Jun 25th, 2006, 03:52 PM
