Offline | Fair comment, I'm sorry I hadn't seen it before. It looks like some kind of french skipping challenge, or a booby trap at the least ![]() I'm just imagining what fun someone, unfamiliar with this hazard, is going to have when they have to get out, at night and into passing traffic Hardly the best time to land flat on your face ![]() Tigger. ![]() Unintimated and I'm back!! ![]() For sunshine, fun and Cornish Pasties: New MINI Kernow Cornish Oggy Run 2009! |

Offline | There's a review on the Clubman on page 42 of this month's What Car? magazine. Here's an interesting quote from it: "The trouble is, with every new variant MINI gets further away from the sensitive design treatment we saw when BMW resurrected the brand in 2001" Hmmm... ![]() Unintimated and I'm back!! ![]() For sunshine, fun and Cornish Pasties: New MINI Kernow Cornish Oggy Run 2009! |

Offline | Honest John Clubman test "No doubt about it the MINI is the biggest motoring marketing success Britain has ever seen. The Oxford factory will turn out 240,000 next year and we still can’t get enough of them. But there was a limit to how many buyers there could be for a car that, however much fun it was to drive, could only take four at a pinch. Even totally besotted MINI lovers were having to look for something else once the Clear-Blue strip gave them the good news." Good road test write up from Honest John, in full here:- MINI Clubman Road Test |
