Nice scoop Tanvir. Thanks for sharing it

Red + White is the perfect colour combo for a mini. Good find.

lovely car . . its not as small as i thought it would be,

i mean compare it with the wagon r next

I think the blue and white combo is best for the mini

gt_mustang · 17th December 2007, 18:22

i tell u minis are too small for comfort

beleive me the wagon r is much bigger than it

greatpower · 17th December 2007, 20:20

Hope they sell minis in india soon. Super performance and handling this car has got.

Id rather have a Mini than a Civic

that's an American Embassey vehicle..>A/F it just got in, it'll get new plates soon. It's easy bringing them over if u belong to an Embassey, as the embassey pays the entire import duty which why you see a lot of brand new CD plated vehicles...they buy them just before coming to India on assignment.
Minis r nice...my uncle has one in Cali, one of his weekend fun cars...love driving it!!! feels like an M800 on mega steroids!!!

OT: CD stands for Corps Diplomatice [french for diplomatic person]
in Mumbai i've seen CC what does that stand for?

in US they sell Mini Cooper in fully customised paintjob and some other options and people have done crazy sort of stuff with that.

they ask for 3 months and they will deliver the desired paint scheme.

but its a gud small car,hope u guys have liked it in "the Italian job" and of course Mr Bean movies LOL

BTW nice catch Tanveer
