We've been looking for a new car for mrs Black olive for a while now, as her Clio is declining slowly into "muledom".
after a few false starts (Peugeot 207CC and MINI cabriolet) we've done our sums, and have plumped for a brand new MINI cooper Diesel
It just so happened that everything sort of fell into place, and the local dealer had just received a brand new car,its in the pepper white ( have you noticed white cars are coming back into vogue) with all the options specced, icluding a sunroof, and Ive changed the alloys to the ones that make it look like a tonka toy .( 7 spoke)
Although Its for the missus, Im secretly quite excited, its a super drive, you wouldnt know it was a diesel, ( 70mpg combined and £35 road tax is a plus)and will go some way to balancing my fuel consumption.( I own and MG ZT 260 V8, with the 4.6 litre Mustang engine
)
the plan of attck is that the clio is used as my work mule on 3 days of the week, I have a MINI adventure on thursday, whilst she collects the shopping car park dings in the clio, and I bring the Mighty V8 into action on a Friday to start the weekend in style.
( oh, and i forgot to mention, she gets to drive the Dooper some days
)
Furthermore the mule can be used for tasks such as taking the dog to the local beach, and going for bags of plaster etc. so I can keep two clean cars.
Does this sound like a good plan or what
Ill post pice up when we bring it home.
BTW, a quick question, what colour are the dash lights, forgot to even ask
