i bet BINI owners would never pay the money we do to maintain their cars like us classic mini owners do, just simply trade em in for something else  Very true, because the BINI just isn't worth maintaining ;D |

Insurance... £600 and something, which is more than I paid for the car. C'est la vie...

most expensive thing on melvin has got to be either the wheels and tyres coming in at 500 and the exhaust at 350. the exhaust does sound sexual though  |
