Thanks for the hints..better get posting then...yep, after 3 years of being a miniwidow I thought if you can't beat 'em..join em...maybe I'll start a new mini widow thread...I can't be the only one who is talked into navigating on runs,making the sandwiches & thermos for shows ( not to mention running for the odd bucket of water for show & shine!) and always having to put the case for spending the spare cash on anything but the mini...not to mention the hours spent on the forum....anyway back to mats..... ( I chose the pink virtual mini pic [very sterotypical!] ..seeing as I haven't got my own one......yet!!!!!)
