    We’ve received word from an inside source that the very first pre-production R58 MINI Coupé is being built at MINI Plant Oxford today. Exciting news indeed as that means we’re likely just days away from seeing our first glances of the production version of the car. We’ve previously reported that the production car won’t vary much from the concept we’ve already seen, but there will likely be small differences worth noting.

    Triple ditto, and the possibility of maybe seeing the "naughty" twin.:devil:

    Wow, Jim.....
    I had to read your note real slow and make sure you weren't describing something else.

    I guess I'm the one in the other camp this time, because I don't care for it. :frown2:

    Bunches of Dittos.

    I want one, but the Roadster is hopefully coming too, and I want one of those too, and I want to keep my 03 forever, need the Clubbie to haul the teardrop, and I'm always looking for a Classic Moke...:crazy:

    I'm excited to see this as well. I still have two more years to decide what to do but this would be one of the considerations.

    @ Jbewley: It's all good man. If we all liked the same thing life would be booring. I'm sure you aren't alone.

    I'm waiting on the Coupe version of the Countrymon. :p

    Not really the Coupe seems more of a logical step to me than that monster MINI. But like Redbeard said it's all good. :Thumbsup:
