Congrats +++
Do I feel a D3 A8 coming along soon? :D

Sadly not, this is SWMBO's car, she can't decide between another Mini or an A1, so we're going shopping Sunday/Monday, again

Must admit, I'm torn too, my heart says Cooper S or 185PS A1, my head says Cooper D

i drove the Audi 1.4 tfsi A1 and I have to say it was much more entertaining than I imagined it would be but I cant say I've tried the cooper D

A1 is a hoot :) Especially a manual with the 'turning assist handle' :)

the £30 road tax and claimed 53mpg of the 1.4 TFSI is enticing, though who knows what the actual likely mpg is going to be, mid-40s perhaps?

Has to be an automatic, despite what it says on her licence, SWMBO cannot drive a manual

I am getting seriously ****ED off with dealers advertising cars long since sold.

Coventry AUDI latest culprit, sorry sir, that car was sold some time ago, no we don't have any other auto A1s.

I actually lost my temper a bit this time, gave him a bit of 'what for'

Was a nice one too

Common dealer practise.... They've paid for the ad so let it in the hope they have something similar when a punter rings up that they can steer them towards.... Sadly, it probably works on most people....

Not in this case, next time I'll assume it's sold and not bother calling

the old Mini passed her test clean yesterday, serviced today with no advice, not even the usual 'smearing wipers', buyer collects tomorrow

New Mini being collected on Saturday, late 2010 Cooper S Auto with chili & media pack. Goes like stink, I'd say quicker than the Boxster

We did try an A1, SWMBO wasn't keen, keener on a 118d M Sport we tried, but in the end, I think she had her heart set on another Mini.

So that's that dealt with, me next :)

Think I'll wait for next Spring before selling the Box though
