I love the mini. My girlfriend sat in one at the DC car show for 10 minutes just playing. Enjoy it- hell you know it fits in a subway- go crazy with it :laughing:

Please tell me that it's a Cooper S. The Cooper S is the only one worth getting (fastest stock car on the market, but that was a couple years ago).

It isn't the S as it doesn't have the scoop. Also, it definitely wasn't the fastest stock car even a couple of years ago. The S model would have been blown away by a stock Mitsu EVO or Subie WRX or STI.

That's an awesome looking car, Bok. I've wanted one for years! In fact, I'm looking to see what the new 07' looks like. It'll be a bit bigger from what I understand, but I like the size as is. If this indeed true, I'm sure the 06's might be discounted a bit - although the 06s are hugely high in demand so the drop in price may be minimal.

I'm also thinking about getting a SmartCar. My brother from Germany can order a brand one and have it shipped here to the States without import tax. Shipping is like $800 U.S. SmartCars rock. They're coming to the states, but in really low quantities.

Quite honestly when I was in Paris and London I only saw a handful of smart cars, I see lots of them here in Edmonton, and in Paris I did see a convertable one though it was cool looking
