We definitely need more research on the condition and a better understanding of the symptoms :( so sorry, Ben.

Shall I buy a Euro Millions ticket for tonight? I think £150 million will help pay for my rusty scuttle.

I just don't know if I want to be a multi-millionaire enough to go down to the shops in this annoying drizzle ...

'How was your first day as a daddy?' colleague 'Well, shes an annoying, whiney, potato faced thing, but i love her'. Was not expecting that but it certainly made me smile.

Wow...commenting on being annoying/whiney after only one day! Give it a few weeks (speaking as a new dad with a 5-week old daughter here!) He's right though, the love massively overrides the feeding/crying/dirty nappies/tiredness etc..... :)

Note to self: when building a trolley for your engine, use castors that can take the weight. Oops.

Miniminx71
Customised shopping trolley :-). I think my monthly shop must surely weigh more than an a-series.

Just ticked over to 65k just a few days after my mini's 20th birthday. Still going strong

Bobs now been written off :( I would have to have built him ground up and just cant afford the extra cost. So im back in the market for a new mini, where as bob was luxurius for a mini (MPI), now im going all stripped and racey

-
robminibcy
Really sorry to hear that, are they giving you the full 8k?
Oct 22 2014 05:30 PM -
MiniGrin
Probably C as its structure is damaged, and no, i havnt got a price yet :S nail biting time, I should be able to ask 7 or 8 k as thats what minter MPI cooper S s go for on pistonheads. Just gutted about it, but there is nothing worth saving on there, shell = twisted and crumpled, subframes = bent and ripped, engine = wont run, and in short thats all a mini is.
Oct 22 2014 07:47 PM -
MiniGrin
BUT im looking at getting another, probably an early one, so im looking forward to that, Gutted about bob, but another mini is on the cards.
