Don't they bend easily ;-) Try picking them out of the tyre tread :-)) Especially with the dumb blond looking on. > Don't they bend easily ;-) > Try picking them out of the tyre tread :-)) > > Especially with the dumb blond looking on. > > > Don't they bend easily ;-) And out of the wheel arches, get a couple of them jammed up there, and you're there ages trying to pry them out..

Very hard on petrol, very hard suspension, very sh.t reliability. Pile of sh.t made in the old Leyland factory. Tell us more.

Pile of sh.t > made in the old Leyland factory. I had a 1275 gt engined Mini Pickup... went like hot snot... stopping however was a little less sporty. Did 10000 miles in 3 months in it when I passed my test... and never left Staffordshire. Only let me down once, the battery lead melted to the exhaust whist crossing a flyover... engine died.. I looked in the rear view and it was like I was flying a red arrow. Disconnected the battery. Yanked the lead off the exhaust once Dad and I worked out what it was.. trundled off. Worst job was the points.. it had the all metal none removeable commerical grill. Sold it to a milk man who liked a lie in.... Ernie. Lee D >>> Don't they bend easily ;-) >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Lee D LOL, mine was a Mini made by BMW! don't get me wrong, it was fast as a bastard, having said that, it cost ?18k, I just bought a Subaru brand new that does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds for the same price. The Subaru is so much better built than the Mini it's unreal. the Mini spent 27 days in the dock in 5 months for SERIOUS faults they could not sort. Also, the local BMW dealers are utter w.nkers. All this chit-chat about Mini's makes me remember though, one of my first 'sexual' experiences was in a (real) Mini & I'm 6' 3" & 17 stone! Nige > & I'm 6' 3" & 17 stone!

Also, the local BMW > dealers are utter w.nkers. If you have a genuine grievance and complaint about a BMW dealer then write to BMW UK and complain, they take it rather seriously. Their dealers are expected to be extremely professional and of the highest standard and they don't condone anything less, we get a phone call after almost every service to check on the dealer.

Excellent for driving around Coventry's sewers though if you find the Ring Road a bit hard going :) SignatureLarry Series 3 rust and holes > Dunno,but I had a Cooper S for 6 months, the worst car in the world.

It does drive nice (but not that nice) look nice (from the front) but it has no character at all. it's very unreliable, very cramped in the rear (fronts ace for space though) & the only good thing about it would be the nice smiley wave you get from every fit blond on the road that drives one. Driving a Subaru gets you the same waves, but from drug dealers & gangsters! I liked the blond bit better!

Sure, the last blonde was in her fifties, but she still looks in good shape. And there's room in the back for her wheelchair. SignatureDavid G. Bell -- SF Fan, Filker, and Punslinger.
