My lad uses these all the time
I guess we're lucky then as we've never had a problem with them

The driver finally took the hint after the letter I left on the door. I now have parts! It's very driver dependent with this company.

Yeah strangely was looking at them when insurance people said mini would probably be written off!

It was fate! Maybe you'll fall in love with the little Seat and buy one afterwards :)

Fantastic! I'd love to sort out all the little bodywork things on my mini.

Excellent news! Won't the courtesy car be one appointed by the insurance? probably a Ka or a Matiz :(

They're just crazy. one has taken a mate of mine for all his money and a green card.

:( Sorry to hear, are you going to buy another one?

Sadly not! I've enjoyed putting sweat, blood, and tears into old mini's since I was 15. But as I near the end of my degree I'm needing something more practical for lots of motorway miles and is a bit bigger! I will return one day though!

Ah well, it is the end of a journey, which you will continue again someday. Practicality and comfort are important and I guess having two cars is not feasible
