Then my boot popped open because of how bumpy the road is and I was only going 50-60! I heard a slight noise but didn't think anything of it as you know what minis are like, then there was a guy in a van pressing his hooter and pointing to the back of my car. I pulled into one of the refuges to close it and then carried on

Well not to worry. My dads a highways engineer and spend most his time working on motorways. The government plan to have got rid of all concrete motorway surfaces by 2013. Although knowing how they stick to time scales it problem wont be done until some time after that.
