This is a thread for anyone who needs to open the emotional flodgates about a Mini they have just sold, written off, had stolen or even just bought.
Have you just upgraded or traded yours in for a 56 to find that you miss your 05?
Let it all out here.....
My story:
Had to tell someone. It has been playing on my mind for months.....
Back in March 2006 I moved from rural Herefordshire with its winding roads to central London. The one problem was I had to leave my Hyper Blue 05
MCS - called Jeff - in the hands of my mother.
Regular visits home have allowed me to stay in touch with Jeff but small touches like Katie Melua CDs, Specsaver driving glasses and a Versace unbrella just remind me that Jeff is being cared for by someone else now and has probably forgotten me altogether.
Last weekend I returned home to be (albeit briefly) reunited with Jeff. Mother suggested trading Jeff in for a newer model. Possibly something a little less powerful. I thought 'yeah, great - a new mini'.
Then I took Jeff for a spin on the twisty bendy up and down lanes. No radio. Just Jeff's supercharger purring away at me.
I have now decided to move back to the country and look forward to August when Jeff and I will once again be inseparable.
You may think I'm a total loon but I know some of you out there feel the same about your Minis.
Happy Minimotoring.
