    some may read some threads on the new R56 and think we are arguing me I see the threads and think we are talking.

    nothing wrong in that there is enough space for us all to discuss Mini's so what if some don't like this or that.

    Big Deal for me Elfman carry on it's good banter.

    “us new turbo owners will show you a clean pair of
    heels....” Aye Craig, from yer TRAINERS! you'll be RUNNING for your lives!!

    Anyway, we'll ALL still be 'RUNNING IN' by the sounds of it, so I doubt there'll be any heroics on the 29th! Do I detect a wee bit of rivalry? That's the second Turdo, sorry Turbo, owner who's flinging down the gauntlet. There's an R56-type insecurity complex waiting to be explored... Surely we can't condone behaviour which would lead to illegal Street Racing?* I'll be looking for backup from you GP guys. Like 'West Side Story'... on wheels.

    * It's a JOKE.

    Craig, I bet you could still shift.... fear's a great motivator! Anyway, I'll be too tired to race after having helped Santa the week before. (With the name comes certain responsibilities). If only the boot was bigger, or Santa could afford GP's.

    Fiona - Re. insecurity complex - it's a cross we all have to bear. Still, at least we're not driving Z4 Coupes,lovely motor - but that long bonnet....
