There will be high expectations for this after the success of the original. Looks the part too. I can see a road going version on the cards soon.....

Prodrive - superb company and gerat history.
Countryman - PoS - sorry, not a fan. How can BMW have the audacity to sell a car with one rear side door that opens into the road, then say they're not modifying it for the RHD markets - this sealed its fate with me from the start, before it went on sale!!
For Prodrive's sake, I hope it does well.

I agree with you on the door thing. Im sure it will go well enough though. I wonder why they are not using the std mini shell??

Wheelbase? Weight distribution?
Perhaps standard is too 'twitchy' ?
