I've actually got a bit of a soft spot for the good ol' Tro!

Think it might be a touch of guilt though. I've had 3 MGs which are all now dead.

Had a crash with a police car in one (not my fault), fixed it, sold it then it died a yr or so later - bought it back and now the brakes and some of the engine bits are in a mates clubby est.

Next one left this world when I hit a deer on Cannock Chase.

The final one was purely to steal the engine out of for my mini.

6R4 and other competition metros are cool IMO at least.

i agree, lots of cars are more mini than the bini.


any british car since the morris 1000 will have the same 'mini' parts on it.

hmm, that one could be considered a bit cool. It's certainly one point up on a standard metro. That puts it at 0......... :errr:
