Got a mini

Car is at bodyshop for a few days following a gentle rear ender. Opted not to have like for like rip-off replacement from the blood sucking p*ss taking accident management company.

Got a bright red Mini One. Quite entertaining car to drive. Zero torque, but once you get going it's fun to chuck around.

The other option was a Yaris but thankfully they'd run out of those!

Same MPG as my 330d !

They're awesome little cars. Very entertaining indeed and once driven you see why people love them so much.

Once you're in one, you soon forget that bit

I just love the interior switchgear, feels like operating an aircraft or something similar

I agree, when the girlfriend bought hers I went to pick it up for her, I also got insured on it. It's certainly a different drive but I do weirdly enjoy driving it.

Maybe, but when it's someone else's that you get to rag the arse off, then who cares?
