The blinds were from the dealers - £40 for rear, and £40 for the side set. They didn't even know they existed until I asked about them!

Derek Woodman was doing a special deal on them recently - http://www.mini2.com/forum/derek-woo...un-blinds.html

Having seen the panda pictures your custom title takes on a rather sinister edge :

Cooper-S-Cart · Jun 16th, 2008, 12:52 PM

I had the Panda as my navigator for part of the day.... wish we had filmed these 2 chinese ladies faces as I asked for directions...... LOL

P.S where did you get your rubber ducky aerial topper?

hi ryan...

the duckies are regular childrens bath toys, available from Dunelm mill, you get 1 big 1 (useless), and 3 little ones that fit perfectly as ariel toppers and stay put even on the motorway

My Girlfriend had just switched off my camera, when she noticed someone having a pee, otherwise it would have been a funny pic. Did anyone see the band playing a fiddle just before the Hardknot - Ryenose split?
