Re: New MINI Coupe

I'm gonna be the opposite here, I actually quite like it.. . The back looks a little odd with the spoiler down but I've seen pictures of it stationary with it up so it must be on a button! I owned a first gen new mini with the 1.6 supercharged engine, it was one of the best cars i've ever driven, ba...

Re: Lights Trouble......

As maisbitt says its the daytime running lights.. . Depending on the year of the car you have you can switch them off manually by doing some sequence with the indicator stork (I think its 59 plates and earlier, maybe wrong). I know my 59 plate can be done manually as I have done it and it is detaile...

Re: What is it with BMW drivers?

It was 2am roads were clear. and I felt sorry for him because I absolutely left him and i don't think he realised it was an R lol. Next se...

The police round here must be cheap skates, they only really have Vauxhall Vectras, old Omegas and some old Skoda Octavias.. .

Re: how much mpg you get?

I get around 280/300 out of a tank which is a mixture of town driving and A roads with round abouts, etc.. . So lots of braking and accelerating again. If I do a long trip on the motorway I can get about 350 odd out of it but thats only once in a blue moon. Coming from a heavily modifed Mini Cooper ...
