I’m neither trendy, never been to or aspired to go touni, a rich kid (well im not poor, but not thatyoung now.. 🙂 )or anything like that. i work in a trade andown a new MINI Cooper S

Sure u are gonna get the occasional fashion victim buying any new car thats fashionable.. but i’d just like u 2 know we’re not all like that, and besides most will only get acooper, not anS:)

also like to inform u incase u were mistaken, this isnt like the new VW beetle.. its not style over substance.. its one of the best cars on the market period. And no, before someone says so.. i dont think its overpriced sure its small but u cant compare it quality wise to anything in its size – class

I also own a classic mini.. and had to have a new one, and willhave the char-g to match asap:)

Hey there – Nice Wheels!! Too right – the ‘S’ is the only way to go -Love that letterbox! :smiley10:

All the wanky schoolkids with P-plates (that’s about 90% of the Minis on the streets) wouldn’t know what a supercharger is anyway… although that new P-plated CLK500 we spotted last weekend was pretty tasty still. Beetles, CRVs, RAV4s – Lotsa phat riceburners around town, all those asian kiddies spending daddy’s money… might be just Melbourne!! :smiley2:

Was looking for something “fun” earlier in the year. Have nothing against the little Mini, its a nice enough car (if a little bit too ‘retro’ just for the sake of being retro) and the build quality is par with BMW but it just doesn’t suit the current lifestyle though… ie just a bit hard sticking the golfclubs & family inside. That snuffed our thoughts on the Golf IV too; Integra didn’t look as good as in the pix and the Celica is getting a tad old. MG too then thinking about recycling the famous “TF” name.

Didn’t think I’d have enough fun for $ with any of those, so went and found meself an MG to play with instead – on OLD one. Nothing as retro as getting the real thing!
