Sorry, I don't understand a car with such a small boot.  Where would I put my shopping?

The most versatile part of a mini all through adult life Jacqui is the back seat!

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.

Love it Scunner.

I had a bright yellow mini some years ago and loved it.

Remember once coming out of Tesco with the shopping to find someone had parked a Range Rover next to it.  It looked as though you could pick mine up and put it inside the RR!

Wish I'd had a camera with me at the time   :)

Not jealous at all , Keith, You Bl**%y %^&**&^, *%**^&,  8): :)
Are those genuine 'Mini-Lite' wheels, by the way??
Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy, (GIT).
Gordy.

P.S. Nearly forgot, was this purchase financed in any way by the millions of illegal Larasi that you missapropriated when you were deported, and banned for life from Turkey??

To answer your questions starting wheels and ending illegal "larasi"...Yes, yes.

Aren't you dead yet? :D

Nice car Keith. I had a white B reg (first time around) one with flares and wide wheels and the smallest stearing wheel I have ever seen. Great little car.

Also had one just like yours as a courtesy car whan I took my company Rover 400 in for a service a few years back. Great fun to drive and to go see my clients in.
