    Nice one Emzay - very nice little car!

    Ive always loved Mini's, trouble is I dont fit in em terribly well - remember driving one of my friend's once.... quite hilarious!!

    Enjoy it... I loved my first car and it was only a beaten up old Nova 1.2!!

    but in England we have funny things called corners...curvy, sexy things,( like our women.)

    The buggers are everywhere. Corners all over the place. And we have to go round them.

    and NOTHING will EVER corner like a mini. Maybe a rollerskate....nowt else.

    Hence the Mini rocking the world on the Monte Carlo rally, and not many Mustang's/Stingray's popping up the mountains to compete

    Heh, there are a few Mini owners (I will be soon hopefully ).

    Hope to see you at some shows Heh, MPi Minis are cool if you want a lower mantanance route, but you still can't beat a Mk1 Insurance is abit odd on them though (Group 8 ?). Now get yourself over to MorSpeed and buy yourself a stage3 head, & new exhaust
