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 […]
It’s official, the Juke has gone into production at Nissan’s Sunderland plant. The car is a five door cross-over vehicle available in both front and four wheel drive variants.
