A couple of things..

Not long after owning my current (and first) Mini, I drove over a small hump-backed bridge in the Suffolk countryside at 40mph and I'm certain all 4 wheels left the road! Boy was that fun and a little scary at the same.

I found that most of the DIY jobs done by the previous owner involved red electricians tape. He even taped around the front parts of the doors that go around the glass windows because they had rusted through! His answer to any problem was to tape over it!

But the best thing that happened when I was in the Mini was realizing how much fun they are to drive in the snow and after rallying through country lanes I rounded a corner in time to see a Vauxhall estate come out of a junction in front of me all wheels locked on the ice and smash into a parked BMW Z3. :gasp:

Last summer was the maddest thing in the Mini, culminating in the Mile Of Minis 2005 weekend in North York Moors/Scarborough by the fabulous Northern Minis.
Was a mad moment every 10 minutes!

After the chaos of Christmas shopping I think all pedestrians in shopping malls should have mirrors and whilst they're at it they should have indicators on their shoulders and f**k**g reverse lights aswell!!!

the other day me and my mate were heading heading over to the dump to get rid of a load of stuff,we were at a red light and this chav with girlfriend sat in the pasenger seat, pulls up next to us, his car is a 106, huuuuuge exhaust ridiculous alloys shopping list down the door etc... :sick:
anyway he starts revving his engine ready to race of from th red light, probably thinking he's schumaker or something, light goes green, and he kangaroos of the lights and stalls, me and my mate were in hysterics!!! he started up again and overtook us so we just pointed at him and laughed.
may not sound that funny but it was probably the funniest thing i saw all week!!
