I just drove past Rolfe and they had an orange convertible coming off the truck. Not sure if it was an S. Is this anyones that we know of?

Not sure, but you better not say it had the enw style 17" 5 spoke rims on it, or Mick will go postal I reckon.

More to the point are you sure it was orange, not red; a convertible not a hard top; any hint of a REDDIE at Rolfe and he'll be there!!

I was looking at my maimed hands on Sunday night and it occurred to me that 200 years my hands could have passed for those of an aristocrat

Yes, yes, even I think the thoughts that go around my head are strange sometimes

Ah! Your problem Andrew my friend is that you are not going fast enough. I deduce this simply by the virtue that if you were going fast enough then the white knuckle friction on the steering wheel should provide all the callouses you'll ever need.

maryc · May 4th, 2005, 07:59 AM

You got him in one !!

But as I say I scored tinting and striping out of the delay and I didn't wait nearly as long as you have..

As Andrew says once you get it all this will be insignificant, MINI tends to do that once you start driving....

I had a great day today actually and spent it out in the sun.. Was a bit cool this morning and turned out quite warm.. My work is really good at the moment and this helps me deal with my recent disappointment.

Thanks for the texts and messages by the way Liam and others...

Thanks for the message Stu. I was originally set to buy a REX but thought I'd check out the MINI and the rest is history. I agree that it is character less...

BTW, I was told the services and run flat tyres were much cheaper than they actually are.. I had a whinge about this too and was told they would 'update' their info with the sales people..

I'm sorry to see you're still a bit cut up about this Mick, cheer up mate.
