Saw 7 Minis last night..

Damn things are everywhere, 5 Cooper S' and 2 Coopers in about 15 mins (Between Camberwell --> Kew --> Hoddle Street).

Not to mention the 3 Cooper S' around my building (off St Kilda rd) and one cooper..

Its looking like the Renault Clio Sport is the uncommon hot hatch now.

Yes..they're multiplying...

did they give you a wave or flash their lights?

the Clio Sport is a damn ugly thing anyway...it's probably better they're uncommon

Where have I been for all these months?

Was pretty dark and foggy, can never really tell if its a mini oncoming at night, could be a new beetle or Daihatsu something...

the new beetle and the Mini do have similar headlights...

but surely a Daihatsu couldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as a Mini! the only thing they have in common is that they are small. thats it

oh don't you worry...the Mini kills the new beetle in every respect...after all, the beetle is just a cynical marketing exercise of VW and the car shares nothing with its predecessor except for the shape...its a Golf for goodness sake! and it's got the performance of...well...um...well its engine sounds like a cow being skinned alive (not that I know what that sounds like, but I read it in a magazine somewhere that the 2.0L beetle sounds like that)

i should know...I've still got a new beetle in the garage...i drive it probably once a month...although maybe I shouldn't even admit that, I'll get lynched here
