    Aw, that's terrible. Why do people do these things ..? No damage to the bodywork?

    No other damage has been done, but they've hit it so hard that its gone through the lense and through the casing

Road trip to castle coombe in the mini tomorrow, then driving it round castle coombe, just wondering what to take with you when you go long distance in a mini, what do you take tools, fluids etc wise?

    Took everything you said and more. Spent 12 hours pretty much in the mini today, ran fine for an hour and forty there, drove fine at Castle Combe but on the way home the engine kept spluttering under load, suspect an electrical issue, had to call the aa and keep stopping to cool the engine but got home eventually. I wish I had taken a spare mini now.

    Oh well, I was pretty impressed at how long it lasted without a hitch at 80mph.

Just walked past two young girls - about 9 - showing off their twerking skills to some other girls/boys. They looked so wrong, wrong, wrong

    3 years ago I taught at a school in a really rough part of town. Shocker on the playground to hear grade 2 girls (about 8 years old) calling out "Let's play Jersey Shore! I'll be Snookie!"

    I was expecting around £2500 if I was lucky, looking at the market. the body work is good but the floor pans are patchy so wouldn't expect more

    My mum said this to me once. I ended up taking my dad a packed lunch and a flask of tea a for dinner a few days later when he was waiting on the side of the A41 for a tow truck to pick up his focus.

    If that's the case get the most recidulously powerful supercar you can. Like a 600bhp impreza. And say it's reliable, modern, and safe with enough power to drift... Then see what they say to the mini lol

    He made them suffer the process of 'let's have a look at what you could have won'And it was a set of kitchen appliances.
    One thing i never understood is most of the contestants are mates from the pub so how do they share a caravan or a car or as you say a speedboat?
