I want one for myself 
I hate to admit it but I loved driving it & im sad she's away home with it now 
Quite fancy a Cooper S in Metallic Grey.

Can get a nice one for £9k on 02/03 plate depending how far I'll travel.
I used the think they were a bit girly/camp - totally changed my mind now.
I want one

I loved driving the Cooper, only thing was it could do with an extra bit of poke which the S will provide

I think there super cool & a great drive 
Nippy enough for road use, not too thirsty/expensive to run etc.

The cooper S has pretty bad fuel consumption. My Mum has one and it gets about 15 mpg. Her's is a 53 plate with about 7500 miles on it and it might be for sale very shortly - its blue though and will probably be more than £9k

i went on an italian job driving day a while back which included, new mini cooper, e-type jag, and a bus. no old shape mini unfortunately, but i was hugely impressed with the new shape cooper. i was overtaking plenty of plebs that were on the ferarri day on the same circuit, but admittendly, they must have been cunts.
had a couple of passenger laps in a cooper s which was quite eye opening as well. i think they are great, no matter what image they portray.

I dont really fancy a convertable at all. Would be a Cooper S with a JCW supercharger upgrade for me.

my mate has a cooper, and tbh its basically a 2 seater, being in the back of one of them is horrible, have to put your knees on either side of the seat.
