    The mother in-law has just ordered a brand new Mini Cooper Diesel from Dunedin in edinburgh. So that's two mini's in the family soon.

    Will have to have a go when she gets it so I can compare to the wife's mini One D.

    Will also tell her about this site as she lives in Jedburgh:)

    Mike:)

    Quote from the Mini site (about the Cooper D) -

    "There's 240 Nm of torque on tap under the power-dome hood. An over-fuelling function gives even more oomph exactly when you need it"

    Sounds good to me 240Nm matches the Cooper S torque

    Yep, she is trading in her Toyota Corolla for the cooper D.

    I think she has ordered the cooper D in blue, can't wait to have a go
