:P :D

they are a newer and better version of the roundie.

Hmmm why did the Poms stop making them then, if they are NEWER and BETTER. And the Longbridge line kept on making roundies regardless.
haha :lol:
OK I'll concede the Oz Clubman GT is 1MPH faster than a Cooper S... :wink:

If you didn't know, the dude who designed Mk2 Cortina etc designed the slab front on the Clubby. :wink:

ps I like T/C escorts too, but the MK1 shape looks best. 8)

:D I like roundies too but at least clubbies are affordable, if not for the clubby I might never have owned a mini. Would still like a roundie one day but at least I have my mini for the moment, and it is fantastic!! 8) :lol:

LONG LIVE THE CLUBBY.

at least the clubby has room to work under the bonnet....

i like the roundies to, but the way i see it, they are both minis so they are both good.
(but i drive a clubby, so they are better 8) )
