I have just put a deposit on a cooper today and I've got to wait until september to get my mits on the car now! I'm glad I didn't wait any longer.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew what insurance group the cooper will come under in the UK? I'm expecting it to be around group 10-11 and hopefully not much more or else it will cost me an arm and a leg to keep the thing on the road!

My thoughts on the design... I love the Issigonis Mini, it's a classic, and even though I only drove it around a field for 10mins about 5yrs ago, I thought it was fantastic to drive. I would never own one as a main car though, they are just too slow and small. Thats why the new car is hopefully gonna be such a hit. It is what the car market is waiting for, a new supermini which looks good, isn't oversized, has a decent engine, and has decent build quality (I was going to buy a citroen saxo VTR until I saw the JD-Power survey!).

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! (Imagine an excited kid!)
