My mini....

Its a bit uncomfortable on the motorway to be honest.

The daily drive....
Posted Image
V6 SRi. Fast, comfy, quiet, aircon, cruise, tows well, bland.

The parts hauler...
Posted Image
Noisy, basic, massive load capacity for its size, never gives less than 53mpg.

This does me for everything, rain or shine. I'm a lowly student bum so I don't require a practical car yet!

We've got a Zafira as the daily hack, but the Mini is far more fun and handles so much better.

The petrol also seems to last much longer in the Mini too.

I think I've got a picture of them together somewhere and I'll post them up when I locate it.

;D

The Mini
Posted Image

Also have my Van, but thats a long term project.

I used my Mini as a daily driver for a few years but had to take it off the road as it stood out too much, getting vandalised two weeks in a row was the final straw. I've since had a Metro Surf, Rover Metro Quest and a Rover 214SEi as daily drvers, then a few years with a Pug 306 diesel before returning to the Longbridge family a few months ago with an MG.

It might be very different from the Mini, but with sports suspension and a bit (ok a lot ;D ) of poke the driving experience isn't that different. :D
