Seriously, by a cake, bake a cake, take some beer.......

I know I'd be over like a shot!

supa-dupa-cooper · Jun 25th, 2006, 05:02 PM

How about :

Neighbour : hello (whilst thinking this is strange, he's never spoken to me before?)
MINI owner : hi, ive heard a noise in your garage, i think my cat may have been locked in
there by mistake
Neighbour : no i dont think so
MINI owner : oh i do

well you never know do you

richhamer · Jun 25th, 2006, 05:12 PM

Some good ideas there!!
I doubt I'll get close to it though by any legal means. I have a friend at Plant Oxford and he won't tell me anything about it, more than the jobs worth.
I'll be ready when it surfaces

Paul · Jun 25th, 2006, 05:59 PM

Flowers? Milk Tray? Cadbury Roses?

It might be worth a shot, March 2001 I got a full tour of a new MINI from some UK staff from the factory, just by being nice and persistant about it!

I spotted a new Mini on the M40 yesterday. It was all taped up round the lights but I didn't get a very good look or a piccie as it was just ahead of me in a 50mph bit and we couldnt' catch up with it very easily as the traffic was a bit busy - and I wasn't driving! I felt like Vicky BH on Fifth Gear when she was doing her spy shots bit on the programme as I was well excited that I had seen this! It didn't look as different as I had expected it to look, and I think only real car enthusiasts, or us Mini fans, would notcie the difference without comparing the cars side by side.

JHorwitz · Jun 26th, 2006, 02:57 PM

thats what i was told at the MINI dealership in heathrow, that the external parts what not look majorly different, it would be the interior that would be more different.

Paul · Jun 26th, 2006, 03:08 PM

It will look different inside and out, the inside will be more obvious (there's plenty of photos on here of that) as it's a smaller area and you cant really "tweak" it, just change it.

Paul · Jun 26th, 2006, 11:22 PM

Has Rich been locked in the garage?!? Or worse, the boot?!? Have the BMW anti-spy squad got him locked up in a secret Oxfordshire location trying to find out who sent him and what he knows?!? It's all getting too much for me!

richhamer · Jun 27th, 2006, 05:24 PM

I did manage to get a not very good pic as it was removed from the garage yesterday morning but it shows nothing that we haven't seen already, disguised with the black wrinkled tape all over it.
I was suprised how like the current car it is but the windscreen seemed to be more laid back and the boot sticks out a bit further below the back window.
From my kitchen window I did see him open the boot and underneath the disguise the car was Chilli Red so I guess we now know thats staying!!
Also, had a new design 5 spoke wheel, probably a 15 or 16"
The rear lights seem like they could be quite funky, with the indicator like a ring donut (!)with the reverse light in the middle of itI
As I said the pic doesn't show much and I wouldn't want to drop any one in it by putting it on here but I've now seen quite a few around Oxford so expect the disguise to start coming off soon.
Just a bit surprising to see one outside my house!

Paul · Jun 27th, 2006, 05:34 PM

Good report, shame about the lack of photos, but I know exactly what you mean about the disguise and getting details.

smc · Jun 28th, 2006, 05:40 AM

Hi Richhamer, never mind about the quality or disguised , just post what u shot

Cheers

richhamer · Jul 11th, 2006, 07:15 PM

Saw one UNDESGUISED today!!!
Looks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, wish I was in the market for one.
It was Astro Black, probably a Cooper cos it had chrome. No chrome in the bumper or even a space for it so I guess that is history

The boothandle is bigger and more squared off and the indicators are up in the headlight unit.
looked really nice

Paul · Jul 11th, 2006, 07:26 PM

And the photos are just coming right?

Right?

I am not like the new mods on the 2007 Model AT ALL!!!! I am seriously considering selling my MC and Going For a MCS as I dont want to come to the end of my current Mini's life and the only choice been a new shape Mini. I also want that Wine that the S makes. To say I am disapointed with the spy shot's would be an underestimation (Spelling). and that fact the Peugoet has had the grubby mitts on the engine well....not please (Thats if that is correct about peugoet).
