 I qualify for SAGA holidays etc next year and have been into minis since having a spin in my old mates 1071 CooperS back in the early seventies. The car was totally stripped out internally except for seats and the noise combined with a lunatic driver drifting round seemingly impossible bends with mad staring eyes must have left an imprint on my young foolish mind. Yes, I'm hooked for life I'm afraid. ;D

I've said it before and I'll say it again, owning and driving a Mini is the best fun you can have with you're clothes on. ;D You're not driving some anonymous hatchback so it will always turn heads and put a silly grin on you're face. Plus the heritage and history is really something to be proud of too.  |

Theres loads of reasons i love my mini ;D But it's mainly the fun you have driving them i think, it just makes me smile & giggle to myself... also there's more room in a mini than any other lil hatch (well compared to a Ka anyway) and most of all they make other people smile when you zoom past ;D They bring back loads of great memories for everyone...they're a great talking point...everyone has a story to tell about a Mini

This very question has been on my mind for a few months..
had a few minis and a few other cars...
will have money for another mini v.soon and have been wondering if i want to give up the reliability, comfort, and warmth of my characterless toyota for a mini..
the answer..... YES
why ?
because no other car has ever mad me smile so much, enjoy driving so much.
and feel like a teenager again..
( before anyone else says it, yes i can remember being a teenager..lol )
Minis rule..lol
