I miss my ex MINI! Hello to its new owner!

I've just been searching for a particular photo on my computers hard disk and came across my photos of my old MINI I sold 2 months ago! Its very sad and I miss it so much. I thought I'd share my longing for another mini with you mini fanatics!

I so loved looking at this car and thought I'd post my photos of it. The first is a before photo when I first picked it up and then the after shots after I finished modding it.

I also want to welcome its new owner if shes on here as I left my MINI2 sticker in the back window and tried to encourage her on here!

Please come and say hello as I hope your loving my ex MINI as much as I loved it!

I Laura.... remember your MINI very well... gorgeous looking car!

Will keep an eye out and let you know if i see it. Did you sell it as was, or take some mods off?

Thanks Jon! I loved that car! I made it to be exactly what I wanted after collecting him as a basic MINI One.

I sold it exactly as it is in the last 4 pics. I couldn't bear stripping it down.

I sold it to a lovely family who were buying it as a suprise present for their daughter who lives in the Epsom/Guildford area so if you see it tell her I want it back! (only kidding!)

Well that's my stomping ground so I'll be on the look out....

With any luck she'll follow the MINI2 sticker and find my new Wey Valley roll call

What are you driving now?

Great, keep your eyes peeled and flash and wave if you spot her!

Nothing!!! Well actually I'm sharing my partners 55 reg Astra at the weekends. To be honest I live and work 5 minutes apart so at the moment I don't need a car so the answer is I've got to move!!! I'm thinking going for the new R56 S as the more I see it the more I like it!

I don't mean to stray off thread, but I'm a new "pre-owned" MINI owner, and new to these boards. How do you get a MINI2 sticker?

Major stray! Some very nice people have been known to print M2 stickers in the past and will mail one to you for the price of postage. Whether or not these nice people are still providing this service, I don't know. Try using the "search" function.

Vikki: Thanks! I guess I'm still in shock as I still class that car as MINE!!!

Martin: Oh yeah remember that!! The photo made it in GoMINI! Shade was going at a premimun that day! Those were good times! Ah sigh!

I so miss this car. I had to wash and detail my Mums new Park Lane the other day just to help with withdrawl symptoms! (That car is just lush!) I enjoyed every minute of it!

I miss my old MINI too... its been gone for over a year now. I wish the new owner would join this board that way I can keep track of how she's doing. But last I heard my MINI was doing great. 0 problems for the new owner.

When the time comes to trade in my current MINI I will be making sure I encourage them towards MINI2

Dont worry Laura I'm sure she will pop up in the near future and you will be able to see how she is doing! Where abouts in the UK do the new owners live?
