Why?  Can you add some substance?  just to explain, it is your opinion, Mini better than the CC S3? Better Than the Ed30/Gti?

you not enjoying your Cayman?  Sold it?

the mini is just great fun to drive , must admit the cayman can be a little disapointing , CC S3 is better by far  :happy2:

Well pleased, not the fastest thing out there, 1340kg with 300 (ish) horses, but it is a great place to be.  Very happy with it.

Looking at buying a cheap runner to travel to work in.

The Cayman has no mods planned, just like it as it is.

^^it is !but i find it hard work , on the open b roads the cayman is 2 nd to non but if your just nipping to a mates or into town it ll be the mini keys i grab from now on i just know it !
when buying the mini was a toss up between S with loads of extras and few mods or a jcw (which was blue and a bit plain ) but i am seriously thinking about going and getting it and letting the cayman go , just found out might be candy jnr not so far away so would free up some cash too  :happy2:

Cant imagine liking a mini over a cayman! I enjoyed the mini for a month but it got tedious and hard work. I dont miss it and ill never have another but i am glad i owned one!
