When my cooper was written off 6 years ago, we had to go to Stanford Hall in a Focus!!! I've done that show every year since I passed my test and it felt so alien to go in a non-mini. I have only been with out a mini for a month since I passed. Feel like a part of me is missing with out one....
That was one of the reasons for buying Gem - I know she's not a mini but at least you can still join in - I know there are a few people out there that still don't accept MINIS but fortunately the NDMR crew aren't one of them
We couldnt afford a Bini back then but we have the Clubman now and he is lovely when the weather is naff and the classics are playing up, I have an arguement for the non accepters of the Bini. It was originally a Rover design, they had to sell out to Bimmer, Bimmer were good enough to make the Bini more or less to the original designs. I have the AutoExpress to prove it. So there you have it. Bimmer could have said Stuff your mini design and we would never have had the modern and safer Mini that we all wanted!! But that digresses off the topic hahahaha.
Cannot imagine life without a Mini we've had one in the family since 1973, think the total is 13 over the years
I've had a mini as my second car since 1981. I bought my first one when I had to drive from Kent to Kings Road Chelsea. I could park my car in a little corner of Waitrose goods yard.
