So the missus really didn't like the fact I down-graded her from an SLK to a C1 (even though it was nearly new), She decided she wants a MINI so I thought I'd teach her a lesson as we all know they have gearboxes made of toffee and it will be typically "bmw" unreliable:

As a result this was picked up for a mere £2.5k.. I suppose something is only a bargain if you really want it? meh!






Its only a ghey Mini One, but its got the Areo/JCW bits.. She fucking LOVES IT.. I think its shit.

Any other details on the car to break down the "bargain" part?? Thought genuine Mini Coopers could be had for that price anyway??

Looks alright that.

Just the roof flag/roof colour and stripes don't match (imo). The exhaust 'out' aswell or just the photos?

Looks alright but not that much of a bargain, mate recently bought a mini one with 80k on for £1600 on a 53 plate.

Evening Davey

If you're in a generous mood and feel like teaching me a bloody good lesson too, please feel free to purchase me either a Kenne Bell supercharger, or a Quaife gear set for the RS. That ought to put me in my place and no doubt

Different colour roof too unless it's a wrap or been painted of course. I assume you would know if it had a cooler ontop of the engine though

It's not, it's a One.

I was only saying i couldn't see any of the parts because he said it has them. Can tell it's not a Cooper S/JCW by the front bumper and lack of spoiler.
