I agree. It's like the Dogs Trust make sure your home is a good one before letting you have a dog. No different for Minis! :-D

What about sorting some storage for the mini and then get a "better daily". You'll regret selling the mini so might aswell save yourself the heart ache ha!

Now that would be ideal, we are looking at having a garage built onto the house but until then unless I pay for storage she's got no home. It will be terrible selling her but am ready to have a "new" car for a bit - been driving 3 years and only drove a mini... then when money's right I can get a mini that can do up as & when I pleaase

Anyone had to cut a rear valance to make it longer, I've fitted mine today but had to cut it and it looks terrible

MattMiniS96. Zelda is not the person you play as. The question was a trick one. You play as Link

Went back to my car in the public car park earlier and there was a new Jag parked next to me. I went round to the driver's side to have a peer inside at the dash. Bit dark so I cupped my hands round my face. Was looking for maybe 10 seconds and then realised there was an old woman sat in the back. Didn't half make me jump.

I doubt it, less to go wrong with a boot lid, front ends are a bit more involved. But I'm not really the person to ask xD

Sometimes fibreglass ones can be too floppy and wont press tight enough against the seal to keep the boot watertight

£1k to insure a mk3 astra.:( What a joke! I was only looking for a 1.4L as a very cheap daily.

Yup..about the same as me..21..2years NCD. One accident. Ive done many insurance quotes all come out around the same 900-1500. Also 1.4-2.0 engines doesnt seem to make much difference
Mar 26 2015 09:26 PM -

Wow! I paid 750 to insure a 1.4 cavalier when i was 18 and then £700 to insure a 2.6 190E when i was 19. That wasn't that long ago really

I will also say that if you choose an unusual car for someone your age you might be surprised...for example more people at 22 will have probably crashed a 1.4 306..than a volvo estate or something

If you think top gear is the best thing the bbc has to offer I am seriously worried my friend

What else is it the BBC has to offer? They have the occasional Match Of The Day on and that's about it.
