The new NEW MINI


Specialist Cars, Stevenage, put on a good display of the R56 for its clients today. With 3 Coopers on display and 2 Cooper S' (one with aero kit).

Our thoughts on the Newbies? After drive of the Cooper S, we felt it was a more refined car, but lost a bit of its edge. It feels almost lazy and requiring less input from the driver.

Supercharger whine RIP, although Jax liked the the overun on the Cooper S. We both felt that overall the cars were better in the flesh, with even the 'Little Tykes' centre consol, looking better than expected.

Specialist Cars did themselves proud, with a superb buffet , face painting for the kids and a free gift for us..
