Well mini isnt the model anymore but the brand. Also each model has different trim levels and engines. The models are one which is hatch and convertible, clubman which is barn door estate/shooting brake style and the countryman which is the big bastard which we have. Its longer and wider than my late 90s bmw e36 estate and about as heavy as a friends lexus ls430!

I'm pretty sure one of them is bigger than the original RR these days.

The original wasn't particularly big. Quite high though.

Advice based on poor experiences after you'd tried it? :-)

Friendly mechanic turned up again today. Ended up towing his combo home with the berlingo. Odd it having only 70 brake but pulled no problem at all. The combo had a bunk bed in the back too so was a little bit loaded up but no bother towing it.
