I've been building a 64 splitty Devon camper from scratch for the last 18months (its red and white to match the forthcoming Dooper!) and when it turned out that it wasn't going to be ready for our summer 07 holiday in cornwall I went a bit crazy and sold my old BMW and bought a 97 T4 Reimo. This has been my everyday transport for the last 6 months but I miss having a proper car so the Mini will now fill this role which cant come too soon!!
I helped my mother in law spec an R56 Cooper last year and when it arrived I she let me take it for a spin - I was very impressed! We had to have one for ourselves!
