Well as some of you may know, I was hoping to get pick up my Mini on Friday day time from its previous owner .....who was getting it through the MOT. It also needed the clucth changing as it was on the way out when I test drove it in April... prior to my date on Friday evening!

Sadly I got a call Thursday saying the Mini was not going to make it as the clutch had gone and was stuck solid. Doh.

I went on my date in a company car (VW Passat Estate TDI - god help us all) - the date was great and we're seeing each other again on Thursday in Brighton for the Star Wars launch - 8pm at the Odeon!

But but but... I'm *hopefully* fingers/legs/toes/etc crossed picking up the Mini tomorrow so I can at least take my date out in style!

Keep everything crossed for me - I'm calling the guy tonight to see if I can go and get it tomorrow afternoon. Its a 3 hour train journey and then a 100mile drive home... insurance certificate arrived yesterday!!

Cheers Dom... If I do get it I'm off on my travels! Not been for a "there and back to see how far it is" drive since March... Can't wait - seriously itching to get stuck into it!
