Yeah I'm not real anti-Clubby (we have one), but I like my roundnose ones better.. 8)

A Clubby is better for engine transplants though, but THEN it's not a REAL Mini, is it? :wink:

Same as Drmini in aust, but i would prefer to extend a round nose flip front a couple of inches before resorting to a squarey....

i like my nugget gold 1275 LS's but i'd have to say roundy is the way for me, when i do up a sedan it will be a roundy. i dno it just looks cooler with the rounder shape.

But if you are talking VANS- then I think the Clubby looks more in proportion than the roundnose- the longer wheelbase and body balances the Clubby's longer schnoz. :wink:

yup... I like the round nose as a "classic" mini... however I think the clubby looks more tough, and I would most certainly agree with the comments about the van. it just looks "right", whereas the round nose van looks like its a little small for a van.

I don't care as long as it's a mini. (I still miss my clubie) it handled way better than my rover.

Love clubbies, but like roundies just a little more. But come on people, a Mini is a Mini!

Would do up a show car clubbie, as no one does up show car clubbies!

Round nose minis are the orignal Mini, without a doubt go the roundnose.

It's the segregation that **** up the entire feeling of owning a mini. I like my clubby, but I like the roundies too. I dont really care.

If I had my way I'd be driving a 2004 BMW Mini Cooper S, with the sat nav system(just to get that dicky lookin speedo in front of the wheel where it should be), and the John Cooper Works kit(how can they be coopers without the kit??)
