Right. Once upon a time, there was a "young" girl by the name of me & I was looking for a mini. I was looking for about 4 months. I saw this one for sale on the Binternet - the Universe decided to put my initials on her number plate, and she's in my fave colours....hmmmm....black & red...(ok, so Matilda's anthracite, but it's near enough
), so I HAD TO HAVE HER. Unfortunately, before I could get to go see her (I was travelling loads with work), some other heartless b****** bought her & I was utterly crestfallen. 
A month or so later & I was just about to put a deposit on a tahiti blue sportspack (blue?? what's that all about???)), Matilda pops up again on Binternet at a different dealership!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I go along same day & she's even more fantastic than I ever dreamed of ! 
Deposit deposited & inspection inspected & she comes to live with me!!!Anyway, now that you're all bored to tears, here's some piccies. This is what she looked like last August....
She has just spent a month in the nurturing hands of Wood & Pickett, I got her back yesterday evening & she's completely starkers now!!
(Apologies for photies taken in the dark & rain)
New bumper, overiders, corner bars....no cooper stripes (makes the bonnet look reeeeeally wide!), new O/S A panel, near rear fog light, new headlamp rims.....
Anthracite mirrors........mmmmmmmm.........
Anthracite arches & wheel centres, wiv W&P centre caps....
Anthracite roof.....all goes so well with her sanguinous interior....(now that's a goth mini....)
I'm so chuffing chuffed with her!!!
I had to stop myself from jumping all the blokes at the workshop!!! ^-^ She handles like a dream and I completely besotted.
There are more plans for her, but I need to
Do you like her? Eh? Hmm?
