My daily is a company van, a Vauxfail Combo which looks like a FIAT but I have a 2004 Mini R50 as a weekend car. My old trusty classic mini is currently in hibernation

Sounds good mate any pics?Sounds good! Wow nice low mileage then. Bargain with the air.Yeah I did mate!cost a few quid but worth it,I'm selling the whole set up for £7,500 which is a bargain really as the car has only done 19,000 miles and is immaculateDid you put in on Airride in the end?The mini is for sale if anyone interested:)
I bought your AP coilovers still going strong. I was so close to going on air too, but my mate trimmed the actual metal arches and sits better than I could wish for static now.

I've been driving this 318i for the last 2 years (40,000 miles). Great for picking up parts, does 35-40mpg if driven carefully, is quiet and comfortable. I'll be doing almost 400 miles in it tomorrow going down to Oulton Park for the Gold Cup.

That looks great. I had a BMW E46 323i for 5 years and it was super to drive, virtually never went wrong and was cheap to run. Sold it to my next-door-neighbour who still has it (160,000 miles now and going well) when I bought my 730D just over 2 years ago.

I've had a couple of these - back in the late `80's. OHV pushrod that handles like a go kart; Hmmm, reminds me of another car on my driveI have a Renault 5 GT turbo as my daily hack. It's been a great car.
I had one too, graphite grey on an E plate, ace until it blew up!
I had one as my first car when I was 18, ended up selling it to build my mini (which I still own). I've had the urge for years to buy another, and I don't regret it one bit, such a nice car to drive.

And we bought a 2006 Holden Commodore wagon late last year. It's a dog/windsurfing/tow/load hauler with a 3.6L V6. I just manage to get 30mpg, but it's very cheap for parts/servicing/insurance. It's big, smooth, comfortable and lazy, you can drive anywhere using less than 2000rpm. It makes driving the mini seem like a huge change! These (including the sedan and ute versions) were the top selling car for about 10 years straight, it's a proper big Aussie family car!

Well bugger me, I think that's the first person to put those words together in a sentence. We have a fleet of them as work cars, I find them to be a plastic car that handles like a broken shopping trolley.Vauxhall Corsa.. beautiful car to drive :)
My daily is still my A4, it just keeps on going. Although the offside front wheel bearing is on its way out currently.
