After 12 years buying Land Rovers with a Jag and MG thrown in along the way - I have bought a mini - I went to look at 2 used mini's but both were sold before I could test them but ended up with a demonstrator after some big discounting by dealer to sell me it :eek:

Very happy with the mini so far and puts my Range Rover to shame - actually thinking of getting rid of it but would need to get rid of caravan first :confused:

Been a member on Land Rover Forum for years and know how useful they can be so hope to keep dropping in :biggrin:

Will try not to go offroad but got roof bars for kayaking :D

Interested to know how it will cope with snow and ice from other owners - dealer offering winter tyre set for £420 - is it worth considering :confused:

I have pics in my gallery but when I try to post them here tells me I need 15 posts to do it :rolleyes:

Seems a strange going on if you ask me but you are allowed to 'attach' pictures using the paper clip.

I pick mine up on Sunday, looking forward to it. Glad to hear you are happy with yours. I dabbled in Jaguars but it wasn't a good experience, XJ6 Sport that was forever going wrong.

I did read the instructions and managed to upload pictures but I could not get them to work in the posting :rolleyes:

I dabbled with an X-type and was so disappointed I got rid within a year after crashing it in snow and driving down to south of france and being doubled up with back pain :(

Just tried again and worked for one but can't do anymore now :)

Until you have 15 posts you won't be able to copy and paste the clickable thumbnail image code from your MINI2 Gallery ... but you can attach a gallery image ;)

Hello!
I always tell my husband that my next British car will be a Jag, but I really don't think I'll ever want anything but a MINI.
Happy Motoring!
