Hi everyone,

As the cooper has now sold I have money that is asking to become a mini again so I have spent days looking at mini's on the internet but haven't seen anything I really like until tonight Smile

I need a mini that can be used everyday so can't be concourse good but not a rust bucket, and something that I can put my own stamp on.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200424271427&_trksid=p2759.l1259 I like it but wanted to check what other people might think Looking for possible mini's Icon_biggrin and if its worth it.

Its in Cambridge so not far away and looks like I won't have much if any rust to deal with!

I fully agree, who can judge if they like a car after driving 2 miles, i thought similar when i picked dans mini up, but the more i drove it the more it grew on me so much so i bought mine.Looking for possible mini's 488389

Thanks for the link Craig, looks nice and the price does too Smile

I might try and have a look at the red one on Tuesday and see what its like, have a little drive and check it over properly.

HCL came back the other day from Tim's house and is sitting in the barn now waiting for its future to be decided, I think I will probably sell it as I don't have the knowledge or the money to do it myself Sad It's a shame but that's the way it has to be.


So by Tuesday night I will hopefully know if this one is a good'un or not Smile
