Here’s the latest from MINI on their newest car, the Countryman. Sure to be a success, the new MINI is now ubiquitous on UK roads and I can vouch for the popularity – a street only a couple of hundred metres from my house has 4 MINIs! The Countryman is the largest in the MINI […]
Lexus may get a bad rap thanks to the Alan Partridge association, but since producing the mighty LFA they certainly got my attention!
