It's a GP, but a Fiat Punto EVO GP.
Some of you may be thinking I have gone nuts....
Here is somethings you need to know... My JCW is still with me... Now tucked up in the garage as the weekend toy. You could say I have done a Crombers..!
My mum is currently wheelchair bound, so I need a car to get her wheelchair around day to day, plus easy for her to get in and out of. The MINI doesn't fit the bill, but this does. I could have kept my dad's Tig, but it is more expensive to run, plus it is over 2 years old now and would have cost a lot more to run. This means that I can get about 40+mpg, about £100 road tax and cheap insurance for day to day and still have the MINI for fun.
Whew!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice!
Fancied a grande punto when they first came out!
Weekend toy, I'd love to manage to keep a weekend Car so it could sit in a garage looking awesome and only take it out in the dry :)
Man, I need a new job :(
LOL Craig, nice one having everyone guessing the colour job you'd planned for a GP. Glad you still have the mini and new car doesn't look too bad at all for a work horse.
Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.
Glad you’ve kept the Mini and your new GP looks very smart.
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
looks good I like the wheels. What is it like to drive??
Cooper Coupe...
VERY different to a MINI... It is light on the steering, fairly gutless (but having 77bhp I knew that) and is nice and easy thro the gears... I would go so far to say the gearbox is better than the MINI.... Not had it out thro any bends yet, so don't know what it will be like on the bends... only 37 miles on the clock at the mo....
