    They may regret it if they suffer whip lash neck injuries in even a minor rear end shunt.....

    It's often occurred to me that the headrests on 1980s Minis are so low down (and non-adjustable) that they'd be practically useless at preventing whiplash on anyone over 5'9". They come up to shoulder height on me. I still don't understand why anyone would remove them though, they might just be better than nothing (and they certainly don't inhibit visibility).

    You'll be able to dig your way out of holes of your own making!

    I used to repair and deliver them, and they are very good fun to play with, especially the mini mini diggers (1/2 tonne) with the retractable treads... Its especially fun driving a digger through the hallway of someones house when delivering them too :) :)

    You can damage a lot of underground cables and break water pipes without trying too hard. You get a very good flash from the main electric feed to the property!

Just as I walked past dominos and papa john's pizza on my road all of their delivery drivers drove off. I happened to notice the time was 4:20. Hmm... Suspicious.

    I would agree that your products are good quality and good value for money you just need to be more accurate with your delivery dates and communicate when things go wrong.

    I’ve already gone elsewhere for the others (le side stipes) witch were £30 posted. And arrived within 3 days of ordering! I’ve also had a headlining kit made up from scratch (not an off the shelf one) within the last week via Facebook. And because it was posted a day late they chucked in a fiver refund.

    Seeing as roofless was last on at 12.22am on the 19th, checking the tracking number would have been tricky. As the stickers weren’t posted until 16.27pm of the 19th. Another one of my pet hates, saying somethings been posted when it hasn’t (all too common on eBay). And despite what the tracking says they have finally arrived.
