Well it's gone back to BMW as it has proved too uneconomical (30% out on fuel)and not large enough now we have a little man to carry about too.

If anyone in here has a Countryman then a few bits will be sold off such as the 16" winter wheels and Thule roof bars.

We only did 11000 miles in the two 1/2 years so expect the car on some Dealer's forecourt any time now.

The 330cd MSport Conv is back on the road - not that it has much room either, but it's as economical as the Mini and much more fun..... :)

Hence it being got rid of.  We struggled to get over 40mpg but the official data is well over 60mpg.  Mini just said it was within limits!  So we told them to come and get it.....

We're holding off for a while, but a Skoda Superb Estate is the most likely replacement.  Same price, twice the size. >:(
