    It was my first car too, and I learnt and took my test in it. So it means the world to me! Driving back from work yesterday with the sun shining was amazing! :D

    I'm the same as above it means you have a stronger bond with the car.

Are the newton commercial carpets worth the extra? I'm thinking of either a budget carpet and decent underlay or the Newton moulded carpet...

Is there a fitting guide for the cooper pinstripes and laurels or does anyone have a picture with a measure?

    A rather broad brush statement. However, how long ago did you contact them and which ones?

    Sorry reading it back I realise I should of put more info... I'm looking at buying a 1275GT & I wanted to find some info on as its been off the road a while & the model on the v5 is blank. So I found the 1275gt register and contacted them. Was about a week ago now. I just wondered how long I should wait, as I haven't bought it yet and was hoping they could confirm its all genuine. I'm probably just being impatient because I'm excited :)

    Yeah I know what you mean. Like when I was broke and things on the mini broke and it was raining a lot around that time and I had to walk everywhere

Not sure what to do.... I hate complaining especially on ebay having been the other end but I bought a steering wheel described as new and its clearly not :/

    You might as well ask. You may be lucky and the seller just refunds. Even if you have to return it, it would be worth it. I have been on the end of complaints myself on ebay but this still hasn't stopped me returning stuff if things aren't as described. I do always give people a chance though as sometimes genuine mistakes are made. I've only ever once had to leave negative feedback for someone.

    If there is a problem, then tell them about it. It's the crooks that claim things are described wrong to get refunds that annoy me

    A while ago I was selling off loads of army clothing. I described a pair of trousers as new, and accidentally sent him the less than new ones. When he messaged me, I double checked and had sent the wrong ones so just sent the new ones to him and told him to keep the old ones for the inconvenience! By the time I paid the postage for the new pair, the return of the old pair it wasn't worth the hassle getting them back. A nice happy customer! Sometimes mistakes do happen, so just get...

    I've run out of space to put stuff. Every corner of my room is filled with mini stuff. And I haven't dared to look in the garage lately.... :D ah well spring is nearly here, time for a big clear out!

    I've got a wife. She stops/nags me so I don't buy stuff. She has her uses.
