A Sad Day

[Kev'sCoop]

Cars in the garage again must be around thirty days only collected in october. Coolant tank went. Called out the emergancy services, The guy said take it to the dealer and topped it up. Got half way to the dealer and had to stop with a seriously unwell mini that was expelling black steam from her scoop. Boo Hoo, shes now back in the garage and their are talking about a replacement i did not ask they offered. fairbairn in Giffnock are great to deal with i know the guys sometimes read on here so hello. I just dont know if i can get rid of her as no one is perfect but this is not good cant go on. If i do replace her do i get the same spec or change colour any of you guys got pics of a black white s or indigo blue or finally a green one. I moight try and hold-off and get a works but i will miss my Mini so Much i cant belive how attached you can get to a car. Check the thread to see her if you like.

Sorry to hear that mate. If they are offering a replacement then I should go with it, why continue with a problematic car if you can potentially have a new one.

BTW wrong thread for this forum, might be best to post it elsewhere before DK gets back

cheers did not realise

I think you should keep her and nurse her. Keep her clean inside and out. It doesn't matter if she cannot run. You've come very attached to her. Don't let her go, you'll regret it

Just don't end it all mate, you sound almost sucidal! It's only a car. A lovely little car, but only a car.

I felt just the same when I wrote my ONE off. Couldn't get over it! Felt like I was bereaved!

[Kev'sCoop]

i know i love it so much but the engine may have been damaged dont want to have to keep taking it to the garage.

Igor thinks you should put her out of her misery.

shegor thinks you need to put it out of misery too

I have never heard of a automotive dealer ever offer to replace a car flat out. This dealership or MINI has totally broken the mold of the car secret dealer motto....
"you bought it, you own it, we don't give a rats XXXXX if we built a lemon, get out of our driveway with that piece of XXXX".

Will wonder never cease. A real car manufacturer/dealer that actually believes that the auto buyer is actually more than a neandrathal with a check book.

With that many "issues".... play Taps, order the same thing and accept the new car as her clone..

maybe they will let you keep one piece from the old to put in the new (shift knob, antenna)... transferance will help with letting go...

good luck!

Thanks for all the replies i like MRHOOLIOS idea may jsut do that dont know what but will move something. I think that i will just get the same colour but add some bits like skirts and a HK stereo heated seats and maybe some john cooper works bits.
