After 3 years of owning time for a change.

Well after owning a Cooper then a Cooper S over the last 3 years Ive decided on a change, if all goes well i will be in an 07 R32 at the weekend and the MINI will be finding a new home.

I was looking at GPs to keep with the MINI population but AWD and the 3.2 V6 swung me

Beautiful cars the R32, good choice. Shame you're leaving the MINI community, but a worthy machine that is.

Did a road trip in the V6 4 Motion last winter, and it's very different from a 4-pot Supercharged 1.6... quicker? Definitely. More fun? Hmmmm...

Let us know how you get on.

I will be pushing the better half into a MINI when she rids the driveway of her Micra haha.

The 'S' will be hard to beat for the fun factor and is the main reason i have just spent a week test driving an M3, 130i and the R32 put that smile on my face over the others
