Taken care of, Mo.

Congrats, billy. Just realize that you're going to be peppered with questions & that we'll all hate you until we get our own cars.

You sure you've got the month right? Hope you do, but based on what I've heard, I would be surprised with any June delivery.

Got to love AutoExcuse "The ultimate MINI has arrived and Auto Express is first behind the wheel" They were? Funny, as they were in my group, and we were not the first. But then, it wouldn't be AutoExpress if they didn't make something up.

Well considering how far ahead of the press MINI2 was you really have to take that claim with a pinch of salt........

Not sure. My dealer is looking into it. He suspected so, but following the lack of anything confirmed in writing, is following up.

Autocar magazine has an extensive review on the GP. They really, really liked it, but didnt seem to know why exactly. They said its easily bested by the current crop of HotHatchs (the top end, Focus ST, Golf GTi, Megane F1 etc) and of course they are all cheaper (some substantially cheaper) yet they still really love the car.

Said its going to be a future classic.

So good stuff.
