Looks like my wee Mini will be going soon, I'd really like a new mini, but Colin is doing his best to put me off 
Been to see this at a local garage, what do you all think. If not this then what? I'm still on a provisional licence atm

Buget between £7000 - £8000 max.

i dont like new minis in the slightest. The newer one is even uglier.
206cc not meant ot be most rewarding drive, but very popular so must be something right with it, ery pretty cars

I love the new mini's. Colin doesn't really mind them he just thinks they're vastly overpriced

Not decided yet, paid £3400 for it under a year ago. Spent £1250 on it in that time. It's due an MOT in May, dunno whether to sell it now or put it through its MOT first and hopefully get more for it

Because they are shit. I agree, they do look good. A girl I work with bought a 2 litre one. It was always fucking up. The roof was shit and kept sticking, the electrics were rubbish. The brakes went pop one day.

I suppose your right Fee, there's a good chance of it getting a few dents in it anyway, if my driving ability atm is anything to go by

Sooooo................. what kind of older car should I go for. The Mini has been a disaster to learn in. It's hard to drive believe it or not, the gears are stiff, and you end up with muscles in your arms you never knew existed, trying to turn a corner
