Managed to track down this edition of Mini World with an article about Paddy, got really excited about the number plate on the car they test drove V565 DPN and thought it was Paddy :proud:

But it wasnt >_<

...

Paddy was originally V551 DPN

Anyway for the fellow JCG geeks heres the article

565 is fine. Needs a bit of love as she's been locked in a garage for 3 years.
Can't bring myself to sell.

I'll get back on the road at some point though.

Nice car by the way

Cheers
