We are lucky today to get the loan of the new plug-in electric hybrid Mini Countryman for the weekend from our friends at BMW. Jo, our sales and business administrator, drew the long straw and will  get to enjoy the new car until Monday.

It shows an electric range of up to 22 miles (25 if you drive really gently), so the average driver won’t need to switch on the 1.5l engine.

Looking forward to lots of fun with an iconic car.
