Ooh, gorgeous! :owned:

Our other car is an Astra, which is my other half's company car. We can both drive it, but I always use the mini if I can :thumbsup:


My Dad has a pretty cool collection of cars, my favourite of his is a 1979 Triumph Spitfire :P

me 1991 cooper (the best in the family)


dad jaguar s type r (4.2 litre v8 supercharged) and a xj6 3.2

mum crysler grand voyeger(mcdonalds car)

rob jaxon

sorry but i think the standerd xk is pointless buy a s type r or x f or xjr for less and unless u get the xkr the saloons are faster

the xjr is just as fast as the xkr

jags figures might suggest not but most reveiws will tell u that the xkrs 0-60 is 5.1 not 4.9

Bl##dy hell mate are you still falling off bikes, I would have thought that you would have learnt your lesson on the XR? :owned: I didn't expect to see you on here, I have enough trouble getting in a Mini, you must have to fold yourself in half. :P

Good to see pics of you and the bikes as it bought back some good memories but I haven't posted on any bike forums since Visor Down went corporate and everyone left the Supermoto page. I’ve still got the EXC but haven’t ridden much since braking my leg in early 2006, but have been thinking of getting back into riding now the weather is getting better and my leg is getting alot stronger.

Take care, DF

Good stuff, I've had a Mini of one sort or another since I was 16 though they used to spend more time off the road than on. I've had my current Mini for nearly 10 years but it was SORNed for most of the time we were riding the Supermotos as I didn't have enough time to ride bikes, learn the Knowledge and be into the Mini scene.

I've just got a new daily driver so I'll have to post a few pics, it's a bit nicer than the tatty old Escort I used to tow the bikes around with.

Our only car is a W registration light green Peugeot 406 Estate. It passed 100,000 miles a few weeks ago with 66.6 miles on the journey meter. :kiss: Currently - it overheats, has trouble starting, the air conditioning doesn't work, lots of trim is falling off, it has door dents all the way down both sides, the fuel gauge hasn't worked properly for the last few years, the temperature gauge doesn't work unless the car is overheating, the speedo sometimes drops. Recently - It had two new tyres, the exhaust fell off on the road, the replacement exhaust came loose, the clutch cable snapped.

If it can hold out another month or two we'll have some money coming in so mum can buy a new car.
