    Yup, we're now down to one MINI in the Mackie household. We were sad to see our little Coop go, but I think the time was right.

    What next?

    Craig and Andy...how on Earth do you know we're considering an R56?? The NMS rumour mill's doing overtime

    I'm tempted for something different because we've still got the silver car, I'd love an S3 (especially since wee maw's picking up the tab)or an R32, she wouldn't mind a TT or a Z4 and I daresay I'll get a few suggestionsfrom you guys. We've talked about this for about 6 months, so we've got a pretty good idea of what we like now.

    I would go for another MINI, but a late R53 Cooper S Works (06 or 56 plate)..

    but if your talking Z4, then I would be tempted to go for the coupe... One of my senior bosses has one in graphite grey and it is stunning...

    hmmm, see we nearly bought one in October, but decided against it at the time. Mum would want an R56 for a nice long warranty and low miles. We've literally just finished a wee look around at Z4 coupes and TTs. I honestly think the S3 is a much better car, but she just won't accept it! We'd only go for the Z4 coupe as there seems to be a problem with algae/moss that attaches to rubber seals and soft tops round here and it just wrecks them. We either want black or graphite grey with a dark interior and maybe satnav.
