So in 1977 I went to the cinema to see Star Wars, driven in a 70s Mini, now I'm off tomorrow with my son to see the new film - should we go in my green Mini!

They will be expensive, but then they're so worth the uniqueness that you're after

Jesus! how often do you have to change them??

Thankfully not often, ten years probably the maximum but as its such a large acoustic instrument the strings make much more difference than even an acoustic guitar as there are many more types of string, real gut orchestral strings are £100.....EACH!

Anyone got any experience with sportspacks in the snow? I often wonder if the wide wheels will cause the loss of the minis know capabilities in the stuff?
