i picked up a clubman today while my mini coop is in the garage why is it quicker?

pretty sure your car would have the peugeot sourced HDI engine while the newer clubman would have the compact N47 based engine. the power delivery is poles apart and the N47 is a much better engine

old one


new one

I may be an "old fart" but I don't agree with "canning" a car that someone has loaned to me, albeit a large dealership. I had a new company car every 2 years, for over 30 years and I always treated it like it was my own.
Just my opinion......

I agree, someone will own that car one day.

I also don't like the idea that his car is getting a "seeing to" 🙊

Isn't this thread a year old? In which case by this time the car will be in the hands of an unsuspecting (unless they read this) 'proud owner' in the Fort William area...
Or am I having another one of my 'ELF Moments'?

Wish Kylie would book me out for a 'Test Drive' if that's what happens!
Forget your CT200, try the 'ELF 1962' Shhhhhhhh! indeed...

I was wondering when someone would notice

[MINIme:)]

I noticed I just didn't point it out

[weefossy]

Doh!...........they always say "Elfs" have an extra sense..........but sentiments are still the same

[MINIme:)]

...and I agree with you too. That's the main reason I didn't point out it was an old thread.

Aye Right...
At least I wasn't imagining things - apart from the Kylie bit

On a more serious point, what would actually worry me more are the tales you sometimes hear of employees having a wee unofficial 'joy ride' in your motor while it's supposed to be safe at the dealer or garage for some work, which can sometimes end up in tears - or in a hedge So it can cut both ways.
