Mini - how cool is it?

Ok, there is a lot of debate at the moment as to how cool the Mini actually is. I have read in some places that the Mini tries too hard to be cool, yet other places think its great.

Ok, i expect most people here think their Mini is great - but how cool is it really??? keep an open mind

So make your sellection from the above list and leave a post.


P.S. if you like this post, you may wish to leave me a good rating - please do as no one seems to be that bothered up till now

Definitely Room Temperature until they sort out some quality improvements.

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.

lots of them about, but lots more want them! no other new car since it was launched has matched it for sheer on the road presence. Still the car to be seen in

Sorry, I'm prejudiced. Can't vote without a slant.

Don't you think you should ask non MINI owners as to how cool they think the car is, most people on here I would guess think of them as ice cold otherwise they would have bought something else!

If horse racing is the sport of Kings, should drag racing be the sport of Queens?

Still cool as ever. I don't the the MINI has lost any of it's coolness since the very first time I saw one. They are still the coolest cars in my opinion. I think we're all a bit biased though.

It's cool because when I'm behind the wheel I just know all the non-MINI types are stewing in their jealousy. There was a guy who would have fallen out of the car if you opened his door he was looking so hard...

...then I zoom away.

Now this is fun:
