Hey Paul,

Anychance of me making a personal donation to the board, when your over? If so err...well PM me with some details and I'll see if I can drop some money off. Feel free to delete this post btw.

The car configurator on www.MINI.co.uk now includes the diesel - It must have been put on recently because it wasn't there last week.

What i cant understand is why the one D gets the Cooper S style side skirts but the Cooper or the petrol One dont?

[klint]

witness loads of mini One D s today! 4 in yellow, 4 in red, 4 in blue and 5 in silver and i didn't see anymore. Funny that! We also got an invite from BMW GB to come along to test drive the Mini One D being a 'big' BMW customer we might still have a chance to have ago? what do you think? should we take up the offer or not? I got an exam tommorow so that can't be the day but it'll have to wait till err..thursday :S

[Paul]

I'll be there with Ginger on Thursday/Friday.

The pale blue is candy blue I think the shark blue which might be added is a purple blue.
