• Dog in road 5 Dec 2016 (Forum)
  My grandson, who is new driver, was behind a 10reg mini the other day. The mini braked suddenly to avoid a dog in the road and my grandson hit him in the rear. The dogs owner quickly gathered up his dog and put in his car and left the scene. The owner of the mini is now trying to privately claim £700 from my grandson.
• MINI Cooper S - V - Power fuel 21 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  Evening guys, I own a 64 plate Mini Cooper SD, I'm looking for your thoughts on V Power diesel? I've noticed it's around 8p per litre more, is it worth it? If it provides better performance & more MPG then it would be worth it, but it appears there is a bit of an ongoing debate about whether or not it is actually worth it.

• MINI Options 11 May 2004 (Forum)
  I\'m looking at getting myself a new Mini. I can either get a regular Cooper, or stretch to a pretty poverty-spec Cooper S. Has anyone any idea how this will affect residuals. A/C is a £700 option and I\'m concerned that not having it will make it harder to shift a few years down the line.
