So my next choice is black

Well that's if I decide to get a MINI...... a s/hand Elise is far more tempting

...or should I go the Dom caterham route

I've seen a nice 911 for £27k....seriously tempted

the Elise rocks but prepare yorself for a fair bit of work needed on it, from my mates experience, but he was using it as an everyday runner!

Martin L · Jun 17th, 2004, 09:59 AM

Hmmmmm.....

MINI, Elise or world trip

I would do the world trip. You have a decent car. You have cash and the time to do it. You know you will get a job when you get back....there is always a need for a beanie...

thats my opinion for what it is worth...se the world and enjoy yourself.

Martin L · Jun 17th, 2004, 10:05 AM

The plan in my mind at the moment is to temp until the winter then go to the US or Canada and work a season at a ski resort

Then come back and find a "proper" job

Cars are cool, but seeing the world is a life enhanciing experience in my opinion

I'll bet you've got the Queen James Version of the Bible, too.

For that matter, maybe you should start writing it.

Picturing Aiden in ... I can't even say it, the visualisation is frightening enough.

Hey, it's nice to see some speccin' goin' on in here.

Sham, there was an all PW w/ black bonnet stripes and JCW in the showroom when I picked up my MINI. Alan (GoMiniGo) and I were both well impressed with the look of the car (Stephanie thought it looked nice but prefers my BRG

). I forgot at the time that MCS isn't available in PW--must have been a custom paint job. It was s/h but appeared in new condition (and was priced for it).
