What became of Smokey? Sept 12, 2009 20:56:04 GMT 1

Well I've been having just a couple of problems with my current Mini lately (long story short, engine ate itself) and began thinking about my last Mini, Smokey, that I owned for a couple of years.

She had a few little problems like rust and needing to be jump started every morning, but she had charectar and got me from A and sometimes even got me to B.

I had to sell her last spring as I didn't have the time or money to get her through MOT. Put an advert on this forum with a loooow price and had a buyer within 10 minutes! A guy called Phil collected and drove back on the M4 (brave!).

I'm guessing she was broken up as there were some good bits on there, but I'd like to think maybe someone took her on as a project. Anyone know what's happpened to her, or seen her about even?

	Any one can restore a classic but it takes a real man to cut one up

Did someone want the roof?
