Mini Presents a 4×4 Adventure
With the Paris Mondial de l’Automobile - 2008 Paris Motor Show - only weeks away, say hello to Mini’s contribution to the Parisian event of the year!
A 4x4 Mini Adventure?!
A crossover between a Mini Clubman and a SUV, BMW has reportedly confirmed that the concept will eventually become a feature on our roads. Unlike the Clubman, the Mini 4×4 will apparently boast 2 rear doors and will break the 4 metre mark in terms of length - think of it as a Mini estate capable of carrying two trendy parents and their kids!

Europe Targets the Van
Fleetnews reports this week that “European officials are set to force a reduction in CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles”. In 2002, the average output of a van was 201g/km, but Euro officials target 175g/km by 2012!
For the van buyer in Britain, being eco-friendly can be problematic. Many manufacturers still refuse to make their emission levels public knowledge. However, alternatives are available to the traditional diesel and petrol engines. Vansdirect.co.uk stock cheap LPG alternatives - which can produce 90% less particulates!
