The time come last weekend when I said goodbye to my MINI

I'd own'd it from new for just over 3 1/2 years and it was just time to move on

For me the car didn't have the same appeal as when I got it new, there's so many around now aswell

Also with the car having done 42,000miles, out of warranty and servicing was starting to cost me it was time to let it go whilst I could still get a good price for it

No doubt ill have another MINI one day but no for now, ill still be kickin around on here alot no doubt

And expect to see me on runs either in my borrowed parents car or as a co pilot

Glad to hear you wont be forgetting the mini2 community

Best of luck with purchasing a new car, hope everything goes well for you!

I'm sure it won't be too long before you are back in one. Bet you had loads of stone chips in the front after 3.5 years?

Hows the C2?

Good Luck!

I only managed a year without my previous MCS and the "craving" got hold of me again!

Let's see how long you will be able to resist...

ALD0 · Jan 7th, 2007, 02:43 PM

Your bound to see lots of them in Oxford!

No, I know what you mean, there are many around-you will probably change your mind a couple of months down the line and want another 1!

Jordan210 · Jan 7th, 2007, 02:53 PM

Your allways welcome as my co pilot

.

Best of luck with the new car

Not many mate, too much polish

The VTS is going very well, it would eat my old car for breakfast it's pretty nippy

Alot of car I got for a touch over £9K through my work, no regrets what so ever

Especially as they gave me £7800 for mine I was well happy
