There is a convertible coming out...model year 05 I think. I haven't heard about a clubman, but did hear rumbling of a van. I'm not with MINI anymore but can still find out all the insider info if you are serious.
 
 
 markie...let me know when you're ready and I'll hook you up.

That's so very nice of you Mankie......
 
 As for mini, well the platform was expensive to develop and the name cost them a lot, so BMW are planning on spinning off a series of derivatives to make more money. The convertible will happen.....
 
 But isnt 2006 the year that mini will update its platform and can get rid of the Chrysler engines?

The current engine is great...why would they want to fix something that isn't broken? And they've just come out with a John Cooper works performance upgrade for that engine, that I know wasn't cheap to r&d.
 
 FYI...the early production Coopers had a trannie problem, not engine. It was a simple linkage issue that was fixed immediately.

the frames were great last night. totally different set from the last few times i've seen them. i talked to rob after (birthday boy) and he said it was tuesday and raining, hence the somber set list. i would have loved to hear revelate and fitzcarraldo though. i just hope the recording my friend made came out well. some beautiful and different redentions of concert standards that the lads did.
 
 poor markie was there by his lonesome sitting in a corner looking forlorn when i got there so i took him under my wing for a bit as i was there with a bunch of people. really, you should have seen him. looked like a little boy and a bully had just stolen his stuffed rabbit and ripped off the ear or something.  :(  poorlulu, he suffers without you present!  :D
 
 anyone think the second half of calexico's set was better? i just couldn't get into them for the first hour. i'd like to see them again and re-evaluate.
 
 pretty impressive night though. 45 minutes of the frames and 2 hours of calexico for $15! excellent!

Errr thanks Lily, I think. You spoilt my emo kid posturing.
 
 Actually I was all wet after my walk in the rain and still tired and hungover after beulah. It was strange going by myself though.
 
 I liked Calexicao at the start.... They played two of my favourite songs of theirs (read the only two I recognise) at the beginning. I did like it when he got more talkative as well though.

Oh, no. Markie, now you know how lonely and alienating it can be at the Cat when you are by yourself. Good for Lily.   ;)
