do it do it do it

then you can take me for a beer in it  :tongue: :grin: :grin:

You haven't said how much over list it is going for...the ones I have found were £20k +...would you really be willing to pay that much given in 12 months time they will be at best at list...same story with the M5 when it came out...I ran mine for a month, sold at 10% over list, then 6 months later I could have bought a very similar car for about 6% less than list

Very true - only the very rich or impatient would pay those premiums.

I have been tempted to place orders in advance on supercars and hope to benefit from the premiums - always bottled it though...

Me too, I can get upto 20% on Beemers but still haven't pre-ordered the next M4!!  It's just to much money to gamble with....

Matt,

Can you order the all new Cooper S from launch?

That must be free motoring for a year - I saw some ridiculous prices on current cooper S cabs recently, did people really pay those premiums? I see prices are dropping now..

The Cayman premium didn't last long.......

You will be posting pics matey  :cool: :cool: :cool:

Nice one, and enjoy.........  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I saw a Mini GP tonight, it looks the mutts!  I didn't think to much of them in the pics, but on the road it just looks awesome....

Charri, that would work.  The ONLY tHing I'd have to do is keep it for 12 months, no hardship there.  Also if I ordered the next gen Mini Cooper S now I'd get one of the first...  Now you may ask what i'm waiting for?
A new job would be my answer  :wink:

We wanna see them Porker T pics, you lucky chap!!

Does the R32 fit into your new fleet? and what a deal on the Phaeton - good work.

We are all waiting for a breakdown of the new proposed fleet, coz we're all jealous as hell and can not keep up!!

Doc - do you offload your car through your trade contacts? or the misery of private sales?
