A Convertable mini one that looks like a cooperS.

Advantages: Cool (Less is more)
Disadvantages: Curb damage on the wheels

...My wife and I bought our mini one convertible in June05. When we purchased it we liked the look of the mini cooper S convertible but couldn't quite come to terms with parting with all that cash so we opted for the cheapest option. We ordered a red mini one convertible with 17" S alloys, pepper pack, cd player and sports seats with black fabric. Oh, we also asked that the one badge be removed from the boot of the car. When it arrived we were so pleased because it was parked next to a red cooper S and it didn't look that much different apart from the obvious like the exhaust, and the air intake etc. Even the salesman was surprised as he had not seen a mini one with that spec (or so he said). Anyway since we have had our mini for 3 months there have been many fights over who was going to take it to work. Although its the bottom...

Mini Cooper S - an accurate and detailed review

Advantages: Fun to drive, sensibly fast, reasonable MPG, great handling, looks
Disadvantages: Cost of runflat tyres, space a little limited in the back

...I bought a 2003 Cooper S in gunmetal (grey) a couple of months ago and have so far been more than happy with my choice with no regrets. As a new buy you need to be prepared to spend a lot to get the extras you want and I should think the first owner of my car spent well over 18k for the car, so that's around 4-5k in extras. Mine has the panoramic sunroof, cruise control, digital climate, full leather, steering wheel controls, chili pack including xenon headlights - these are the sorts of things you would expect a fairly expensive small hot hatch to have so with this in mind, buying used is blatantly the way to go, particularly with the new car market as it is. When you step in the Mini you can't help but notice the attention to detail that BMW have paid with all of the interior. The huge dial grows on you the longer you own...

Mini 10

Advantages: Quite a lot
Disadvantages: Hard to adjust to

..., blue etc and I?m really glad mine is black as it looks so smart. The keyboard is also black but the hand rest is a glossy silver colour which is a similar design to most laptops and web books nowadays. The dimensions of this creation are 10.3 x 7.2 x 1.3 (reading the instructions and specification) and it?s slightly thinner and smaller than other similar products that I have seen. I also got a case with it which is easily carried round as the net book is so compact. Because the keyboard is smaller than a standard computer or laptop it is hard to type on at the start, but I am surprised at how easy it is to adjust to the size and actually the keyboard is the perfect size for me! What I find strange with the mini 10 is the touch pad is really hard to get used to, the right and left mouse buttons are in the touchpad and they are...

Cooper S What fun

Advantages: Fast, Fun
Disadvantages: Bumpy ride

...What a car! This little beauty which is so reminiscent of the old mini, goes like the wind. Quaint inside but so much larger than the old mini and the build quality is fabulous. The S is much more fun than the straight cooper and if you like to go fast then this is the car for you. It still retains all the character and fun of the old mini and commands a nod from other mini owners. If you want fun this is the car for you. The Mini cooper S has sports suspension plus which can make for a bouncy ride to be honest, but hey that really is reminiscent of the old mini isnt it. If you buy one get one with leather interior and air con, they tend to sell on much better afterwards. Run flat tyres are a bit on the pricey side £140 each, but they do allow you to carry on driving for 50 odd miles after a puncture so you can get home which...

Review of MINI Cooper S

Mini cooper s John Cooper Works 200bhp

Advantages: Faster than the average mini
Disadvantages: tough ride

...From the outside the only visible changes are the 2 john cooper works badges and the larger twin exhasts at the back. Inside there is no change atall apart from the fact that the speedo spins up a bit faster than usual. at around £22000 new the Mini cooper s with the john cooper works kit is quite a large price to pay for a mini. i got mine for £18000 1year old from a bmw dealer. The 200bhp that the engine cranks out certianly makes a difference from the normal mini's as 100mph comes around in 3rd gear. it sticks to the road like a dead animal and is great fun with the traction control off. The ride is a bit stiffer than normal and it seems to bottom out when going to quickly along bad roads. No matter what gear you are in it will pull all the way around the rev counter and a bit more. Overtaking everything is fun as...

O2 XDA Mini S Has Everything.

Advantages: It's more than a desktop computer, in a package the size of a mobile phone.
Disadvantages: Not much onboard memory, but can easily be fixed with an SD card.

...The O2 XDA mini S is the all in one PocketPC, there is nothing this does not have: -Mobile Phone, with all the features of a mobile, SMS, MMS, GPRS -Internet (HTML, not WAP!) can connect using WiFi, GPRS, Bluetooth or Dial-Up GSM, so you are guarenteed to be able to get online -Wireless LAN, connect at work or in WiFi Hotspots like cafes, airports or work with broadband speeds. -Full QWERTY keyboard that makes typing SMS messages to full MS word documents as easy as on a PC. -Camera, with 'Flash' I feel this is the downpoint of this phone, but it is the same with all PDAs the cameras are near useless, do not buy it for the camera as it only works in daylight conditions. - MS Windows Mobile 5.0, install and delete programs at will, with so many programs availible for free and at very small prices availible online there is a program...

Terry"s Mini Eggcadamy Awards.

Advantages: Yummy Chocolate orange taste, pretty bag.
Disadvantages: Quite pricey for amount you get, the white eggs.

...of our bag-On the front there"s a large dark blue egg-surrounded by cute mini eggs, all in various stages of the unwrapping process-each has a sliver of orange peel adorning it and different coloured foil paper curling about them too. There"s also the familiar Terrys Chocolate Orange symbol-so it"s easily recognisable as a product from the geniuses that originally brought us a little segment of choccy orange heaven. OK-as your compere for the event, I will now descend the plush dark blue stairway that swirls downwards in to the bag-and brings me to the "back-stage" area-better known to most as -the back of the bag!! Here we find a substantial list of nutritional information and company details, whilst also we get to meet our 4 mini contenders,by way of a little picture and a wee description. Like all good traditional award shows-let"s...

Review of Terry's Chocolate Orange Segsations Mini Eggs

Mini One a fun car to drive

Advantages: Solid, fun to drive high quality small car
Disadvantages: Heavy on fuel, not alot of leg room in the back

...We bought a Mini One in 2005 for my wife as a second car. We bought it on the lease purchase scheme that they ran at the time. It works by paying a deposit, we paid £2500 then for 3 years it was £199 a month with a final payment of about £5000 after the 3 years or you can trade it in for a new one and continue the monthly payments. We paid the final installement. Anyway enough about the boring finance, whats the car actually like? Its great it feels really solid and very high quality in all the finishes in the car. The doors, paintwork, buttons, steering wheel, gearstick and all the bobbles on it just feel like they are really good quality. We had to pay extra for a black roof £500 and the rest of the car is off white, it looks really good. If you buy the Cooper the black roof is included in the price. You feel really safe in this...

Review of MINI One

bmw mini one

Advantages: to many to state.
Disadvantages: heavy steering

...bmw mini one was the first car i ever brought and to be honest i wish i started with something a little cheaper then maybe changed car a few time to experience how other cars drive and then gone to a mini. only because i now know my next car WILL be another mini. One of the best features is the run on flats. when your tyre pressure goes below what it should be, the car shows you a flat tyre sign and a beebing sound, so you know that there is something wrong. The only thing i think could be improved is the steering i find it a bit heavy compared to other cars but would not hold that against the car. Handle brillianly at a round about!!! The bmw mini, well all mini's are stunning looking car.i love evey minute driving my mini. in my opinion this is the best car ever made....

Mini Eggs :)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Caburys Mini Eggs are one of my favourite easter treats and luckily this year they have hit the shops extra early. These sweets are produced by Cadburys so have lovely Cadburys chocolate in them. They are egg shaped milk chocolate pieces in a crisp sugar shell and come on different colours including pink, white, yellow, purple and brown. Each sweet has a speckled brown effect to make them look even more egg like. Mini Eggs may contain traces of nuts, eggs or soya for those of you that have heath conditions or allergies. The nutritional information is as follows: Per 100g- Calories 455 Protein 4.6g Carbohydrate 64.7g (of which sugars) 63.1g Fat 20g There are 100g in an average bag of Mini Eggs. As you can see there is a large amount of sugar, calories and fat in a bag of Mini Eggs, so you may only want them...
