We're all long suffering victims of Rover's "quality", discussing ways to make our horrid little cars last long enough to offload them on some other poor sucker. We all bitterly hate our Minis. Would you like to buy a Mini? 8-P > > is there an one out there that loves mini's if so get back to me > Nope, 'fraid not. PS, some of us can be sarcy bastards too. If you want to join in, just jump right in and add your 2p worth; but don't expect anyone to "get back to me", they'll all reply right here like this. what if I dont want a pee? let alone 2p, but i do need to do No.2's soon, but can I still "jump right in" but seriuosly John Smith my friend welcome, enjoy your Mini, and don't get to worked up by the odd Nth American who stumbles in here and wants us all to get excited about their BINI, they can't help it, its just in their nature.

I believe they are made across the pond and you keep sending them over to us.

I've got a permanent dent in the back of my neck!! Keith > I luv mine, except for the five minutes or so after I've stood up under > the bonnet catch... Mokes have the opposite problem. Never EVER leave the bonnet of a Moke in any state except either UP or DOWN AND TIED DOWN. Sooner or later every Moke owner forgets and leaves the bonnet down but not tied down. Thats why every Moke bonnet has 5 neatly spaced little dents where the bonnet slams into the lift-the-dots which secure the roof to the windscreen. Apparently you get just a split second to realise your mistake as the bonnet flies open. Yes, I owned a Moke. Yes, I say apparently. I was doing 80kph when I did it, but I had my spare tyre on the bonnet, so it didn't lift... Lucky your hinge blocks were not worn, I've heard of Moke bonnets leaving the car and being run over by the car behind!

Those hinge blocks are also on Mini's to hold the bonnet stay in it's place while "packed away". Everytime I open the bonnet on my car the damn stays fallen out of the block, so I hate to think what it would be like to attach the bonnet with them!!! My first saloon did that in a brand new spray job because of a missing bonnet hook. When it came off the catch there was nothing to stop it bending around my windscreen.

That's the reason I replaced my hinges with bonnet pins. It's hard to smack your head on the bonnet catch when it's standing against the wall next to you!
