Billy - LOVE YOUR COUNTRYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're ever going to part with it (you're not that daft!), give me a shout. I used to drive my Mum's '78/9 Clubbie Estate and it was such a cracking wee car - really practical too....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh memories.... can't beat a 'Woody' though. Love the wheels and hubcaps - are they Cooper S steels, or am I wrong? What running gear do you have, is it standard, or 'tweaked'? It's great either way.
As for the new car..... well, it might grow on me, but IMHO it's 'grown' quite enough as it is. It's certainly a practical bit of kit, but whether it can be classed as a 'MINI' is still a 'Topic for Discussion'... the jury's out on that one. Unlike the Clubman, which is still very recognisably a MINI.
In black this looks like it needs an illuminated 'For Hire' sign on the roof, and you'd have to do 'The Knowledge' as opposed to switch on the SatNav. "TAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXIIIIIIIIIII!!!"

I've yet to see the new one in the flesh but those pictures of the original against the new makes the new one seem even more hideous!
The original is fantastic and deserves to be lovingly cared for.

I know you should never get in the way of a woman and her "Woody".

Re my previous comments on the new Countryman.......after seeing the following picture I may have to eat my words. Think the spots on the front totally change the look.
Could this be the supercar you are looking for Euan, if they make a road version. wonder what the cost would be?
Apologies if someone has posted this picture up elsewhere.
