    I have read where they my be in the US in 2010? Has anyone heard any thing else about the diesel? I really want one since the F1 is not going to come to the US. :mad2::mad2::mad2:

    Heard the same, but I'm missing the connection between Formula 1 and a Mini Cooper D...

    Think the special F1 model MINI introduced at MINI United as opposed to the race series.

    Gotcha! SOunds like a fun car. Always wondered why the BRG wasn't offered in a non-metallic; I suppose it wouldn't look quite as good (or lend itself to a multi $100 metallic paint surcharge..)

    I like the non metalic green. Not a real fan of BRG. I am just looking for something to keep me busy. Have spent almost 4 years changing and modding the BLUCOOPR and I love Diesels Engines. Alot of torque and virtually no maintenance. Drove big rigs for 35 years and did some tinkering, clocked at 115 loaded in Transtar 2 back in early 80's stilll have the ticket somewhere. The F1 would be great since only 100 going to be made. Oh well went to the dealership this morning and almost bought a oxy blue cooper. If they would have had the clunker law and gave me 45 hundred for my 87 dodge PU, I probably would be looking to modify a cooper. Still may do it?
