Saw a few weeks later on a motoring show a lengthy review of the new Mini. The reviewer thought BMW did a lot of things right; it handles a lot like the old Mini's, fr'instance. This Be Good. Wade.

The Beetle is way too impractical, the the PT Cruiser is only available with a 2.0 litre engine here in Oz. of course, when it comes to 'cuteness', retro or no, the Toyota Sera or Suzuki Cappuccino are hard to beat... On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

But I drive a Nissan. Go figure :) Whatever, all in good fun... On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

More like typical Merk, thinking "corner" must mean "racing" - (CRConrad) - (2) - Dec. 19, 2001, 08:39:28 AM EST
