ed

Yeah it got hit up the back and the insurance company tried to write it off I was having none of that :censor: they tried to tell me that the mini was worth 600 quid I told them to research it a bit more seeing as the mini we have there where only 250 made in balck that came with a sun roof and a minimum price is 2500 :lol::lol: so after all that it's now in the garage being fixed :D :D Should get it back in friday :thumbsup:

Mini's are the greatest car in the world to work on cheap to run cheap to do up and amazing round corners + they are so easy to do a handbrake turn in ;) :lol::lol:

Yeah, couldn't believe how cheap all the the parts were..

£90 for a cat-back exhaust, stinless steel, top brand (in the mini world)

Following it, i swear it's on rails... :D

The graphics down the side are nigh-on impossible to get, although I don't think it's so bad for the black ones.

My Mum had one from new until about 3 or 4 years ago, but it was the Pearlescent Cherry Red rather than black. It was a great wee car. I was offered it once but turned it down. I was never offered it again unfortunately.

We sold it because it just wasn't being used enough. A guy in the town bought it and kept/keeps it pristine.

Minis rock!
