Thumbs up

Had a sit in the Cooper version the other day. Very nice indeed, if a bit plasticky.

Got to say that this just <I>might</I> save PTMW! 's bacon from wifely abuse

99% certain my local BMW dealer might get an order tomorrow for a Cooper in Yellow

The downside is that a) I'm paying for it & b) the GSXR is the deposit

Any biker want the reg <B>R7 GSX</B>?? Email me...

What I have to go through for PTMW!

Seems they copied the new impreza, putting on a lot of weight and bug eyes to replace the classic originals!



Seriously seems ok though £100 for 5 years service seem sensible, but I heard a rumour that all the ones being delivered this year would have £2k extras fitted!!!

I get the impression that the girls seem to like the new Mini!!

I am off to have a chat with the new Mini guys in Maidenhead tomorrow, as my missus has taken a shining to it as well!!

Fortunately, this is not at my expense of the scooby and/or motorbikes!. I am buying a motorbike soon as well (although not a gixr 1000, as I would probably wrap it round the nearest tree!) Probably a new CBR600 or a Kwak ZX7R!

Cheeky cheeky !!!!!!

That's good to hear - that's at the top of my next bike to buy list but then, that's probably true for everybody right?

When will you be selling the Gixer, maybe we can get out together before you sell???

I know, but it's a short-term strategy - I'll probably end up with a GSX1000

Its funny when I suggested a MINI a while back I showed her a picture from a car mag. She was not interested when she saw it in her helloOKupyour generic gossip mag she thought it was the bee's knees.

I cant figure it out. or is it that I dont want to figure it out!

Sounds good

I can deal with that - its the wife that's hard work!

What's she like anyway your missus? Petrolhead? Good looker? (Or motorcycle accessory as I refer to them ) Anything I should know? Gibber gibber...
