BOC?

Sadly no, combination of too far to go, too high insurance costs and it seeming too good to be true. The people selling were a bit fishy to be honest, so might be a 91 rover city

Not cameras, have enough of those bloody things. Don't suppose you have any lenses though?

1300! The cheapest I can get is double that! The joys of having a Cooper. Kind of wish I'd gone for a BOC now. I'll probably fit a Webasto as soon as I can afford one anyway.

I'd love a 998, I prefer the sound and having to floor it on the hilly roads on the way to 6th form. Anything with a carb really, easier to tune

I second amazon. I've bought haynes manuals on there for 1p before. Ended up paying £2.50 postage but it still works out cheap

Not for me... especially when the roof is down, just looks really odd with the largeiece fabric sticking out back

+1. And it's not exactly very good to be seen in one if you are male.

My uncle said they are easy to break into which is obvious but never crossed my mind.

You also need to bypass the inhibitor switch. Have a search through the technical section. It has been covered several times.

Ah too much work for a simple job. Just wondering as autos seem to go for cheaper :)

Definitely go and have a good look before committing any more bids. Dont trust the 1 yr MOT things - it can still have problems you dont want as a first mini.
