is it a mini?!??!!?! ;D

Going to bite the bullet, If its a mini with 5 doors, then its the clubman, however technically its 6 as double doors so not sure But knowing you it will be Sport. So either Clubman Sport or works! Delivery date, near future! I know they have 17" alloys as standard (i think) hence the guess, Not sure on the colour though, gonna guess either black, white, or clubman brown!

Regards,
Rikki!

A few on TS were told its grey with a blue hint and it has 18" wheels as standard (I think) but the winter wheels are 17".

Everything I think of is either too heavy or overpowered, so I admit defeat!

Tidy up your post into the proper format if that's a guess Rikki!

I've only ever stated that the winter wheels are 17", not said anything about the summers.

It is a blue-grey, with black wheels and a leather dash.

the things i do for you!

Well guys... I shall be closing the thread on Sunday 8th January, as the delivery to the dealer is set for some time in the following 5 working days. They do have to prep the car and add a couple of dealer fit accessories before I can take delivery, so I still don't have an exact date.

Time for last guesses everyone!

Last guess as I'm all out of ideas.

Manufacturer: Audi
Model: A3
Bodystyle: Sportline
Trim: Pass

Probably wrong again as I think it might be a tad heavy and maybe a bit small for your taste. But again, its worth a guess.

One question, will we kick ourselves when you reveal it?

I think that there may be surprise from some, but I don't think you will be kicking yourself.

What will make you kick yourself is if I point out how easy it would be to get all the details, and the biggest clue that I have been giving to those who actually drive on CLC when I am driving!

Well... end of the guesses. ...topic locked while the guesses were collated and made to conform to the required standard. Now open for further discussion or reaction.

The loan car is pictured below, a Mini Cooper with sport pack (so JCW aero kit):



Bobo made me laugh with his first post, and at the time was the closest guess that we had. Rikki just about had a heart-attack I think when he joined a Mini forum and found my posts about the car. But for all that I think that he is all set to lose out to Crystal, unless I get a call in the morning.

Pictures of the actual car to follow, but the brief run-down on the spec is:

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman
Highclass Grey
Black Alloys (winter and summer sets)
Lounge Leather in Championship Black/Red
Media, Vision and Chilli Packs
Nav
DAB Radio
Leather dash
Folding & Dimming mirrors all around
Butt warmers
Harman Kardon HiFi
Heated Screen
Auxillary Gauges
Stumpy Aerial
Silvervision bulbs
Union Jack Side Scuttles

Well I can say that I'm surprised and I'm not surprised. Thought something like that would be too small for your taste so I ruled it out.

Nice choice though, hope you enjoy many miles in it!

Cheers Beefy!

It is a little off the wall considering what I have had before, but as a characterful quirky little motor to move me from A-B I think that it will be fun. The reduced running costs should help as well.

Nicely done! Get my mini tomorrow so expect to see some pictures on here and tm also I want to see some piccies of yours so get some up

Just as soon as I get it!

...at least my new PC should arrive tomorrow.

Well, that does surprise me. I was expecting something else as you can tell my by first guesses (the Mercedes was just a desperate guess as you ruled out both BMW and Audi). Hope you enjoy your new car!

always thought it was goign to be a mini just unsure what model nice choice though personably would have gone for the normal one like you have now but jcw ofcorse.
