I agree with you there Marcus.

jmelrose · Sep 29th, 2006, 02:21 PM

Paul,

Did they mention any changes regarding US availability/timeline? What is your understanding of the current release schedule for the Cooper/CS, both in regards to manual and automatic transmission?

Also, (newbie question alert) I see the Chili pack and the Pepper pack on here, but I assume those are different options packs from what the US gets. Did they give an idea as to what the options packs for the US would ultimately be?

Thanks,
JMelrose

No firm dates for anything we don't have already I'm afraid.

First time I've actually had time to look through the photos, I like this wall of clocks shot.

Thanks Paul!

The whole paris report has been very usefull, i am now decided on my interior spec! I'm so hyped that i can't believe i'm only planning on buying it next year.

mister.t · Sep 29th, 2006, 07:06 PM

Awesome!!! Love it. The best bit? The interior, defo. Mind you, the biggest improvement are the fog lights, which will me much better.

Paul · Sep 29th, 2006, 07:30 PM

OK, so who wants to see the yellow S?

Paul · Sep 29th, 2006, 07:44 PM

BIG thanks to Tom at 4car for help with those.

mad brummie · Sep 29th, 2006, 07:55 PM

i do like that aero kit

supa-dupa-cooper · Sep 29th, 2006, 08:10 PM

reminds me of an aftermarket bodykit in a way? really not sure about it, much prefer the current one, but maybe it will look different in the flesh

Are they MINI wheels?

R60 Mike · Sep 29th, 2006, 08:16 PM
