after a long day of work on the mini, me and a friend decided to take her out for a spin. my friend says he does not like my car (as you will see at the end of the video) but for somone who dislikes mini's he didn't stop asking if he could drive it around the block! :D

sorry about the quaility, was done on my phone

oh and am the one filming

*at the start he starts taking the piss out of the car but has literary come round my house now to give me a hand on the rebuild lol think he is too afraid to admit that he loves it lol

haha, engine and exhaust is standard 998cc at the minute, at least i think it is lol (soon to be 998cc fast road) and the exhaust is standard too, sounds good because of there being hardly any sound deadening and there is no air filter or filter box on it so the intake sound is AWESOME! :D

Was he wearing a seatbelt? it didn't look like he was. was he insured? has the car got tax/MOT? doesn't look like it had a speedo/odometer anyway.

If no to any of them I hope so so much that this video leads to a conviction... unless you own the whole estate it was driven on?

Dry your eyes, cant prove anything with a video like that. Not everyone is as perfect as you. i'm sure you have never done anything wrong in your whole life.

I don't see how what I've done changes what can be seen in the video, and I never said I was perfect or never made mistakes, but there's a fine line between doing your best; or making no effort whatsoever to follow the law, generally be safe or not putting lives at risk.

OH WAIT it's not a fine line at all it's a huge gaping canyon. But hey ho it's not like this particular gender and age group is considered a high risk group to insure because of attitudes like this.

we would never put somebody's life at risk. and yes it was insured :P taxed :P and has got an MOT :P and what do you mean attitudes like this? i have you know i was top of my class in school, received 11 gcse's in ALL of my subjects at grade A*'s and A's , i work as a mechanic never smoked taken drug's, have a kind and polite attitude and work hard. anyway I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person

@brad-the-bear

Just to clarify, this is what I meant by 'attitudes like this', I didn't mean you or your friend. I meant more at giner, that when someone points something out that has been done wrong and people jump at the chance to defend the person seemingly in the wrong rather than saying 'yeah it's probably best to wear a belt'.
