Excuse me dear sir, I sincerley apologise.

You are correct, we do enjoy differing vehicles. I am a firm believer that individuality speaks mountains about someones personality. Something I feel the ST lacks is individuality, there's no uniqueness. Whereas the mini comes in a whole palette of colour options, the ST has the choice of three.

And then there's the engine package, the mini offers four platforms:

2 naturally aspirated 1.6 litre petrol
1 Turbo charged 1.4 litre diesel
1 Super charged 1.6 litre petrol

Not to mention the ability to tune!!

OK, well I said I wasn't going to mention it, but I fear I will anyway. There are inexpensive tuning kits that can take a cooper S above 250 bhp. Not bad from a little 1.6 Tritec engine.

I feel that Handpumping in a mini is a far more stylish way to go blind than Handpumping in a Fiesta. I see far too many Handpumpers driving fiesta's as it is.

But that's just my opinion. we all share the road so let's all go blind together. Happy handpumping! :)
