very different driving experience compared to what i am used to, especialy the breaks!!

£870? Ouch! Still, at least you're mobile mate and you can fish whenever (and wherever!) you like now

Congratulations on your new car Ben and hope you can fix the problems without spending to much money........Least you can get out and about more though now which is a bonus!! enjoy mate.

My first car (ford sierra 1.8 estate) is still sitting out front as i was given it back in Jan and not yet got round to taking my test.......Best get my finger out soon though as im paying tax and putting it through the mot next week!!

both my uncle and dad used to have alot of minis and know there way around them so with any luck i should be alright, cant wait to get out in it
trying direct line today, my bro has a policy with them so i get a discount

Hey have you been using that reflective numberplate spray that stops speed cameras reading your plate? looks like it in the pic mate. Best delete that before Plod sees it. LOL

My first car was a mini. I had bucket seats, sports stainles steel ex that was positioned in the middle of the car, 10" alloys but they were wide as hell! the colour scheme was red and white. The roof was whit alonf with the wide wheel arches and rims.

could fancy pimping mine up a little bit as well, some nice seats, good sterio, wider arches as well
should look real nice
