That is plenty of car for £4.4K ...
With cars like this you need to be able 'get out' of them when you're done and want to move on ...so I can reduce the price and not lose my shirt versus the fun value.

Yes that's fair enough, it's bottomed out on the depreciation curve and the real costs are now on running/upkeep. The only danger is at this price bracket you get alot of morons who feel entitled to be able to buy a car with whatever change they can find in the bottom of the sofa + an Xbox ... but don't worry about it till you get to that bridge!
The R56 is already looking quite chubby compared to the R53!
I think the Mini's have got progressively worse looking.

Yes, they are torture. You find that the market for sub £5k stuff is still pretty active.. it's the stuff north of £10k that gets really hard to shift IME. I've got a mate trying to sell a 2006 Porsche 997 at the moment and the crap he's going thru isu unreal.
Anyway, as long as I get my fill out of it I'll dump it and run

Style over substance?I have an E39 5-series BMW.
Recently in an immediately-adjacent parking space, was whatever the latest model 'Countryman' is - a shocker: it was c 200mm wider, at least that higher, barely 400mm shorter - and had observably less space inside for, you know, people. Very odd indeed. I looked it up - and yep, no lighter either.
why do these ..things , sell?

Very odd indeed. I looked it up - and yep, no lighter either (but with a very limited offer considerably more-tedious/constipated /dull/fragile engines)

Yes, it's like a Range Rover with the corners sanded off. Absolutely enormous thing. With a "Mini" badge.Is the Countryman the 4wd SUV(?) style...
Remarkably, they did bring back "Mini Clubman" . There was a guy at work a few years ago who had a modern Mini, I think a Countryman, in the days when there was no Clubman apart from the 70s version, people used to call it his Mini Clubman to take the mick. My, how we laughed. He didn't, used to bite every time.Yep - funny how BMW never revived the obvious 'Maxi' nomenclature...
* it's a Mini adventure ... just inflated to 120psi / 1700Kg.

I had a 106 GTI for a while. Bloody brilliant thing to drive.OK, good to hear that the Fiesta and Megane have a bit more life in them.
I should've grabbed one of these when they were peanuts.
