Fully understand the Cooper S situation. Love ours but they are expensive to run, especially with fuel and tax prices these days!

Ditto, ditto and erm...ditto.

Regards,
Tony. (Cooper S too)

P.S. Not to mention the increased risk of points on your licence (I got 3 last year).

I haven't actually 'owned' a car since I sold my last MINI Cooper S Checkmate in early 2006 as I've had company cars for over 10 years now. The current one (bucking the trend of this thread of small cars) is a Nissan Navara 2.5 dCi Aventura Double-Cab
