    A very good point - there is always at least one person that falls into the 'potential victim' category

    Not dissing the new stuff, but it's funny how things change - we used to buy MINIs DESPITE the boot size - that's not what they were about.
    Now the boot is a selling point... Hmmm

    I'm with you on this, Mini isn't about boot space and in fact, if a mini has any kind of a boot it isn't a mini

    As I said, not an 'Anti' comment re. the 'big' cars, just a reflection on where the marque is now, compared to when it began.

    BTW Alan, Re 'Booted' Minis: I give you the Riley ELF (no better name!) and the Wolseley Hornet!

    I've just worked out how to make the pictures BIGGER!
