Just put the deposit down on a Mini 35 1275cc. EXCITED!!! My Dad reckon's it's pinkish which has got me paranoid but I think it's just a weird red. Anyway, I'm still happy with it, gotta pay the rest soon, tax and insure it and I'm off!

Insured my car yesterday, taxed her earlier today then picked her up (THANKS CoopDog!!). Such amazing fun, was expecting a really awkward clunky drive as I had never driven or got used to one before, but I didn't stall and it was so much fun! Shame it's snowing heavy though, I'd have done lots of driving this evening...

Can't wait for the next clear day now though, and then start thinking of what to do to my un-named Mini then. =)

Nah, not cool enough, I think a jokey name would be good. Maybe I should give her a forename and surname, just for a laugh. :L

By the way, THIS ICE IS ERRRRR. Was just losing the steering for a second going down my road. SCARY!! :S

Snow/Ice was no match..
