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

Nice one dude. Tools -> Cars -> mini :)

Finish it and then drive it to the Cape! Finally met Kevin and his mk3 today. They are such beautiful cars!

...my house. There was one about 300 km out of town two weeks ago, but I didn't go as I was not comfortable driving that distance in one go. Some guys drove 1600 km from the other side of the country for that show!

firstmini

Yeah I think they all get a tshirt or sumthin so 15 a year isn't overly much. I think that's it, I love all styles and shapes, mines a LE 30 but no way I'd think about classing a "normal" mini as lower than mine or whatever - there's so many styles, editions etc out there & all just as loveable! Blimey that seems to far away! Some people do go miles & miles for them, unsure if I could to be honest - I'd be deaf and end up rattling as much as the car...
Feb 23 2015 06:28 PM

Vinay-RS

Ooh a limited edition! Yeah mines a bog standard 1275E (Local model). Some of the guys have really nice rare models, one guy has two mk1 cooper Ss! Some people have minis that are in quite a tired state, but we still love it when they come on the runs because they are our friends :) Yeah same here I cannot imagine driving that distance in my mini, though if it was in convoy and we stopped every 300 or so km, I think it would be a fun adventure.
