Lego Mini Cooper anyone?

Or for the more techically minded.

still prettier to look at than a BMW Mini

Had loads of technical lego when I was a kid Dave. Loved it.

Lol Paul, the new ones are nowhere near as pretty as the old mini's.

you should try driving one......cramped, no room in the back, heavy clutch, feels like your bum is an inch off the ground......goes like the proverbial off a teflon shovel but totally souless.....my old BL Mini was one of the most fun cars ive ever owned

My Mam had a new Mini with the cvt autobox, it got 20 mpg, a 5 litre S Class Merc wouldn't be much worse!

20mpg from a modern 'small' car!! Not good Shay, I hope she got rid of it.

It turned out to be a design error and was dropped by BMW, all stepped cvt boxes are gone now I think, early noughties fad.

She got a Golf with a 6 speed auto after that. 30 mpg around town, not great but a lot better.

Not bad for urban mpg though.

I have it now, still does 30 mpg as long as you pretend there's an eggshell between your right foot and the pedal!
