    Take apart, take pictures of everything, put back with shiny things. It's not hard, just don't start with an awful base!!

I want a talking mini. I could make one. Has it been done. I don't think there would be a market. A proper talking mini. Not something that seems robotic and slow, something friendly.

    I also want a talking Mini, I'd go for a pint with it and then it could drive me home. "It's OK officer, my car drove itself.."

Just had a driving lesson very soon before my first test, and to say the least I was not good and very tense. Any tips?

    Have the Jeremy Clarkson attitude, it's not a test, more a confirmation of my excellence. :)

    Need something more scary to happen a few days before your test so it seems like less of a deal. My Dad had a heart attack the day before my 'mock test'. Dx

    putting a few chewing gums in my mouth always calmed me down, and still does if I'm ever feeling tense! Used it for my test also :)

    I have thought the same. Still not sure though. May make a quick one from cardboard and stick it on. xD

    Yeah good call - although they're not very expensive to buy from ebay - might just buy one and try it....
