Yeah it's GC motors matey. Full on crazyness though... so many decent late Minis just sitting their parked bumper to bumper rusting away. Really just don't understand it one bit. Everything is overpriced and there wasn't a single car there for under £3300... the showroom is a pretty nice place to be with a few special Minis.

Not a single salesman out on the fourcourt during the hour we looked around though... it's almost like they dont want to sell any cars.

I know what you mean, and the accident damaged Paul Smith confirmed my thoughts to be honest. None of my business to say any more than that on a public forum.

It's a lovely showroom

Minis Minis Minis... I have four of them, and still needed to borrow one from a friend to get to SMD :S Better then gettong to Gaydon in a Corsa though.. ;)

I have Minis, I have a garage, I have A LOT of parts, and all thats missing is time to work on them...

Was great seeing you and the Metro in real life Craig ! Keep up the good work, get some driving experience in the Metro and I'm sure you'll find a proper Mini to work on and to get happy with ! :)

One day Erik :)

Thanks matey. I'd love an older Metro, and had my eye on one but it ended when I was at Southern Mini Days and my internet was down so my dad wasn't able to bid for me. It was a stunner. I've been looking at a few others, to buy and restore and sell on as a side project, hopefully to make a little more money for the Mini. I think I'm able to make around £100 profit on each after insurance etc, I've been offered a price that's £250 higher than I payed for my red one, although she was quite the bargain, I think.

Just took a few paces back after a wash and ended up with a big grin on my face. I really love this little car and her rediculous face :)
