    Dunno if it's available in LB or not Stewart.

    If we go for one it will be later this year and by then I think LB is off the cards.

    Laser Blue is discontinued from March.

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    Dam the Laser blue, black roof was always one I liked..........not even doing my Pure Silver anymore! And I’ll tell you what there is a Blooming Coutryman going about in what can only be described as puke Green\Yellow its revolting no harm to the lady owner.

    Kirsten and I are both thinking this could be Kirsten's next Mini also, but her car wont be getting changed for another two years so perfect timing for second hand ones to flood the market

    I love this Stewart. I remember seeing this before. When I was having all the problems with my S and the timing chain etc, I was almost tempted to bin it for one of these from down south, but couldn't get the figures to line up!

    The more I see the Roadster, the more I like it... much as I've come round to the Coupe, I still can't really get my head around that mad roof, but the roof-down Roadster does it for me - plus if you get the JCW, you get to hear the pops and bangs. Won't be trading my R56 in for a LONG time though!

    I just think because this is the new kid on the block and the Hatch even in JCW is common these days this will be the stand out mini for a while. I can only imagine the smiles per mile with the hood down in the JCW on a sunny day up north….

    I’ve only seen one Coupe on the road going to Glasgow Airport and that was a few weeks back, I don’t think it’s gone down well at all. The younger brigade can’t afford them and the older lot just don’t fancy them. The yummy Mummy brigade can’t fit wee Emma’s friend in the back when they get picked up from school or in most case have or plan to have the usual two kids so there out the market. Grandparents are out as how do they take the grandkids out.

    its a very niche market Both the Coupe and Roadster will be in, still the Roadster looks a riot and I want one!
