Well, the day has come. Tomorrow I hand my keys over to the new owner of my Mini

I came to the conclusion that an engine rebuild, a tonne of welding, 100 miles a day, and a student budget to live on didn't quite fit together. If it wasn't for the Swiss Cheese Syndrome the little bugger is developing, all would be well.
On the plus side, I've found myself a low mileage Mk2 Golf GTi, which isn't a completely boring modern car, and it's rather a lot easier to keep up with the maintenance.

Basically, I'm saying goodbye for now. I'll be back as soon as I can afford to run a Mini as a second car. They really do deserve garages, especially with the amount of salt they chuck on the roads these days. Thanks to all for the help and advice, with which I have been able to use to allow for many, many enjoyable drives.

Toodle pip, and see you all in a few years!

Being mini less doesn't mean that you have to leave, mini-mad-Craig has only ever had 1 mini, sold it before it was drivable AND owns a metro! He still bugs us....

There is a solution to the Swiss Cheese Syndrome... GRP comes in all shapes and sizes and for Minis there's 3 or 4 different flavours. Mine's Midas flavoured

Shame the mini is going, enjoy the golf though! :) I like mk2's.

And yeah like already said, stick around. I've been mini less for about a year now but I love it here. I'm on the forums for my 2 cars but I hardly go on them, I'm always on here lol.
