I don't get that one - I can't even fit into the front seats.

ah, the back seat of a mini, good memories!

Mind you mine was a 1964 one, bright orange, with flared arches, twin carbs that used to race too fast sometimes and I had to use a screwdriver on them to slow them down, racing gearbox, bucket seats and generally Cooperised.I was the bees knees when I was 18!
I thought the big bore exhaust was supposed to sound like that until the Police pulled me over, escorted me home and told me not to drive it again until the big hole was repaired.... I would love to have another Mini

Now i know how you feel, we just bought a 7 yr old convertible saab - fantastic fun, black with cream interior, electric roof, absolutely wonderful, the roof is down whenever it is not raining and as long as you are wraped u it is great.
Love the mini scunner - here to lots of fun driving!!!!!!!

Yep i will admit to a mis-life crisis, we bought for my 45th on Wednesday, and Jacqui - a decent size boot!

We sold one when Mrs Scunner was pregnant, it was a beautiful white Mini Mayfair automatic. I decided it wouldn't be practical to get twin babies in and out of, I think i was right. This one is exactly the same age as that one was when we got it so we've just jumped 10 years in between. I could tell she didn't have feelings for the car I bought her when we got back to the UK although she is very fond of it.

So, anyone want a P reg VW Polo automatic with 32k on the clock? :D

I will stick to my Freelander my back seats go down and make my boot even bigger, so I can shop with the total confidence that whatever I buy it will fit in the boot, perhaps, even a mini-car:D ;)

Perhaps you should buy the mini just to keep your money in:D

I wish, most of the money I made in Turkey I never even saw.

Reg plate blanked due to owner having a history of attracting freaks and nutters.
