I'll take an MCS "Traveller", with JCW & AWD, please.

Can I expect to see it before 2010?

Erm....possibly!! Am very, VERY tempted, will wait for the pix tomorrow, and that should help me to firm up my decision

Having a slight housing crisis at the mo tho, as my curretn housemate is moving out, and I can;t find anyone to replace him

Might mean moving elsewhere - maybe Liverpool, so then would have to be shelling out petrol money to get to work too,s o will hold fire for a min on that one!?>!?

Am tempted to go to0 - when is it? Anyone up for a mini2 trip to Paris??

Am not sure on the car now I have seen the pictures - I don't think the red or the wheels really show the Cooper off to its best!?

The S does look much better, but it's a bit cartoonish - sortof like the mk3 Golf compared to the mk2 - same theme, but very different....hmmmmmmmmm The darker colours make it look a whole heap better - not sure I would want a second Astro black, but the mock up of Lightening Blue looks quite good - what do you think to MINI twins again, Olly?? haha...

I do, however, love the new interior - looks brill

mad brummie · Aug 14th, 2006, 08:28 PM

theres a thread in the events section for a Paris trip

Peanut and Beastmaster are organising i think

ABG · Aug 14th, 2006, 09:31 PM

I think the exterior new one looks OK - until you see it beside pics of the old one and realise how shapeless its had to become

Rakey · Aug 14th, 2006, 09:33 PM

I'm really liking it, the current will always be a classic, but the new one is a real grower, and I can't see it been a failure for MINI

loads of little touches that I like, more so on the interior than the exterior

poppet · Aug 14th, 2006, 09:49 PM

Im going to have to join this thread as I have already got my name down and am no.21 at north oxford mini

My head is spinning already and it's only day 1 of this long speccing journey, already have a little idea though from what i've seen

mad brummie · Aug 14th, 2006, 09:52 PM

i think you should let Janey spec it after that shirt this weekend, your taste is compromised!

Hey what about pepper white with THAT shirt as roof color

mad brummie · Aug 14th, 2006, 10:01 PM

oooooooooooooooooooooooook

Olly. · Aug 15th, 2006, 08:22 PM

Ok i'm starting to think of the spec a bit now, heres the stuff I would like on the car

Lightning Blue / White Roof & Stripes (as long as I like the colour once MINI release pics)
17" Alloys (Not decided which yet)
Sunroof
Leather
Heated Seats
Climate Control
Anthracite Roof Liner
Bi-Xenons
Keyless Go (or whatever they decide to call it)
Stereo upgrade of some sort
Auto Wipers & Lights

Its going to be expensive isn't it

Paul · Aug 15th, 2006, 08:26 PM

Are you high on the list at your dealers?

Ditto, I think the interior is fabulous

I think the exterior will become familiar too, and I think we will be chomping at the bit for the JCW

R1 · Aug 15th, 2006, 08:52 PM

I have a feeling it won't be a "JCW".
