Ryan has asked me to post this on his behalf.

The Countryman that is currently touring the country will be at JC Tayside on Wednesday until 7pm. I'm led to believe there is also nibbles and drink.

This is not a production car and is only made from fiberglass so there will be no test drives. Just to have a look at it and get an idea of size and see the interior etc.

Should be interesting! :thumbs up:

We went to take a look
On first impressions I really like it - its kind of a maxi-mini!!
Really need a test drive in one to get the feel of it, was good atmosphere when we were there and as always Ryan was friendly and welcoming :thumbs up:

I still think it is ugly. But, how was it received by the other people there?

The first of the bigger pictures does look a bit like a Cab from the rear. I think it will be a case of does my bum look big in this.

Alarmingly how big is the Mini badge.

I am sure it will be a success, I won't own one (I very much doubt anyway), but then I don't need the space.

Personally, I am really looking forward to the coupe, roadster and R56 successor.

I won't own one either, as its not my kind of Mini but I'll pop in as I'm parked 200 yards away from the dealer on thursday anyway.

So is that car just a fake then with no engine or just a pre production working car that they wont let anyone drive?

Think this will be part of the plan for a WRC MINI (4x4 3 door) maybe
