Nice car

I had a mini 850 for my first car. No power what so ever but still amazing fun to drive. What a timeless shape aswell it will still look good in another 20years time .

[John185k]

A few more.... your probably bored by now!

 

[cat171]

I never get bored of seeing pics of old minis they've got character, not like the new one.

 

[Frasers Cup]

The clio looks massive beside it!! Makes you realise how much bigger the new mini is!!

I wouldnt like to be in a crash in one though...

 

[lanky]

As a general question, how tall are these people that have owned a mini?

BTW lovely car mate

 

[John185k]

Cheers guys, i'm 5'10" so no bother fitting in one. i have quick release adjustable brackets in mine so you could be about 7'...

 

[lanky]

Sounds promising, im 6"4 so with modifications I could get in a mini, hmmmm....

 

[John185k]

Well the car goes tonight after a year of relationship - new priorities just now and all that jazz....

Farewell pics

 

[cat171]

Such a mint example, i'd be gutted to be selling it (I guess your gutted too ??)

What you getting ?? by V on way (in your avatar) - do you mean a clio v6 ??

 

[John185k]

Yeh a clio v6, however thats gonna have to wait 6 months. Gettin something simple till then.

Insanely gutted...

 

[cat171]

I'm going to proper gutted when I come to sell my vee - the dude I bought it off of almost cried when I did the deal, I really felt for him, but at the same time I have a massive grin on my face.

Some people look at cars, like they are only a bit of metal etc, to me they are more than that:approve:
