MINI ONE on Top Gear Tonight

[Macsport]

Who saw the MINI ONE on Top Gear?

They were talking about car designs tonight and Clarkson drove the MINI ONE and Toyota Yaris Verso. MINI 1 - Yaris 0.

Yep saw that one, of course the MINI looks better than a Yaris! They unfairly showed the small amount of legroom in the MINI by putting both the passenger and driver seats back to 'Jeremy Clarkson' levels

Still, I never knew that Zoe Ball had a MINI

He had to point the same amount of legroom AND the fact that the wheelbase is the same as a Land Rover Discovery (how many other cars fall into that category ).

On the plus side - Clarkson did also say that the MINI had better handling than cars costing 5 times the price. He also said the ONE is a bit of a bargain - buy one and chip it and save £1000 on the price of a Cooper.

Still, the programme was all about style and the Yaris has NONE! And which car do Madonna, Zoe Ball and loads of other celebs drive?

MINI - THE car to be seen in

Oh Look this is my 200th post as well. YIPEE

My colleagues have been taking the p*** this morning, saying I should have gone for the One and chip it!

They could not understand that the Cooper with Chili Pack is great value, and makes the car look better with all the chrome bits

May be they are just taking the p*** for the fun of it

Yeah - Land Rover Discovery. That'll be the car that came last but (I think) one in Top Gear Magazine's satisfaction survery this year... (Mini came 7th or 8th I think - from the top).
