The joys of winter!





Great

[blacktulip]

that looks like its been there for a bit more than a winter mate

[Joshmini]

Well i only noticed it couple of month back

Seems to have just caved in, didn't used to be like that till winter started

The rust in the boot has been there for a long time, getting worse though

yeah this winter has been really harsh on the minis, mostly down to good old grit i understand why people put them away for the winter now!

[richardsoniscool]

[Joshmini]

Yeah will be sorted, need to sort some shelter out for this mini prepared for next winter

I know how you feel mate. My rust has certainly escalated over the last couple of months.

Why are they so bad for rust compared to other classics?

'Why are they so bad for rust compared to other classics?'

There British! haha... unlike some other classic cars they are still practical to use everyday ( good mpg, safely do the speed limit, surprisingly roomy lol etc)

so i think as they are used regularly, and im afraid to say, are ageing quite a bit now they hold there own in rust terms, not great but do all right.
