Driving Impressions of R56 in Autocar & Auto Express next week

[~Marcus~]

Just been to WHSmiths and flicked through Autocar and Auo Express, both say that in next week's editions they will have driving impressions of the new MINI. Guess this will be a drive of the prototypes and not the finished article.

Hey all,

This forum has got me more excited about my new '07 MINI than the dealership and salespeople!

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see what the articles have to say.

[Paul]

Glad to hear you can't wait. Hope there's lots here that feel the same.

Paul,

Thanks for the reply. And thanks for handling such a great forum.

It's really enjoyable to have so many enthusiasts that feel so much for these cars.
