    Stopped by the dealer today asking when they were coming in and he said I could special order one out of his first batch coming in.

    If you're interested in getting one, now may be a good time to stop by your dealer. I should get mine in April in his first shipment.

    They are a little bigger than the last ones. The speedo is now no longer in the center. Oh well.... progress!

    You'll have to let us know if you think it's any good.

    I'm in a 2004 MINI ONE now but fancy looking at the feasibility of a Toyota GT86 next.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Have they improved the terrible quality feel?

    Gaud I hope so! I haven't seen one yet.

    It's for running around LA. You need a cheap, small, near invisible car you don't care about with a decent radio because you'll be listening to it more than driving it while stuck in endless LA traffic.

    The Mini is perfect! :)

    Coupe. I can't stand the Mini convertibles. Those are really, as they say in the UK, hairdresser cars. :)

    (No offense to any hairdressers who may post on Fchat!)

    Actually they don't have convertibles yet.

    I think you saw my Mini. Now you know why it needed to go! :)

    Alfa 4c. That one's a tough one to crack though. Not even sure who to order it from!

    But, if I get one, I'm taking it on a long trip like the C7. :)

    I need the Mini so I can fit it and the little Alfa in my parking space.

    I still think you should at least get a Boxer, or dare I say a 12C.
