Australia Aussie Banter MkII

Apologies if this should be elsewhere, I want to post soemthing quickly and couldn't see the old banter thread and am thinking it may have been moved elsewhere? So sorry if I'm posting in the incorrect place, but anyway, a few of you might be interested in reading THIS.



Cheers Liam

Make this the "new" Aussie banter thread. The other one was little too "messy" for us to clean up from some remarks/arguments etc. Thought it would be good to start with a clean slate.

whats the overall opinion in the article? positive or is another MINI is over priced and you can get more for your money?

cheers

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

I've only glanced at it Rakey (I'm saving reading it for a long haul flight I have coming up next week) but it looks pretty positive in favour of the MINI
