I put a stupid post on here yesterday.
Yesterday i filled my pants and thought about tgetting the Honda Civi Type R.

Today I would like to confirm I am an idiot and cant belive i even contemplated it.

I would like to put this down to a moment of madness, and the stress and worry over Liverpool Football Clubs miserable demise in the eyes of the world.

I love my present MCS to pieces and in a way it's hurting having people contact me over buying her. But at the end of it i'll be getting another one just a stunning, more so than any Honda. I only wish the MCS had the bright red starter button!!

Thank you to all the people on here who have added their comments on the matter. All have been very interesting to read

So please, accept me back into the fold, back into the community I have missed being part of all day

i did see some where that you could get a starter button fitted to a mini-

my friend did the same, thought about selling his mini put it on autotrader and had some bits tidied up at his bmw dealer- when he got it back all shiney and like new again he couldnt part!

Momo59 .........You would have a long wait for the new Honda Type-R, they are not available until September 07 !

The Type R is a good car! It's one of the ones I considered before I bought my MINI.

The following kind of swung it for me though;

The interior (of the outgoing shape) is somewhat bland. Dashboard just doesn't work and you don't get much in the way of extras (air conditioning is optional, but that's nigh on all you can choose).

LOTS of power. 200hp even. But you have to rev high to see any of it. The good thing with the MCS is that the supercharger gives you bags of torque without having to work the engine too hard. If you want to match the power go buy a JCW kit you'll be glad you did.

Suspension is good, but at the expense of ride quality. The MCS strikes a good trade-off between both I feel, a nice firm ride without putting your back out.

MINI holds on to it's value a little better too, ideal for when you eventually want to trade in for the R56

I fitted a Honda red starter button to my old Cooper - see my gallery
