From what I remember you were giving Anand some tips on Saturday.

'You brake to early for the corners Anand'

'What?'

'You brake too early'

£17,965 now
Cost to change £1,965. Just in budget

You're 100% correct on that one
I do it to avoid brake fade and it's far better to go into a corner too slow rather then too fast

I'm going to wait until I've had my test drive before I say for certain.

No!! After all the hassle you've had with this car.

Why spend £3,500 on the Works Kit and they shove a Big Daddy on the roof. Defies the purpose.

I had to brake cause i'm not use to being shunted in the back . Then i heard the incident with the 4 wheel drive and i was ok

I do think you need to change your car Mart.. that colour is so so common but then you know that. White roofs do like nice to


Does my @rse look big in this broom broom www.totalMINI.com will be right back

So common I haven't seen one for at least two weeks
Saw a great BRG today. Was all BRG and had chequered roof. Very different

I'll only change my car if I get a good offer from Milcars. I want cost of change to be between £1000-£1500 and for them to swap my s-spokes for white x-lites
I'm not really asking for much I don;t think
