Thumbs up New Convert to Mini

After 12 years buying Land Rovers with a Jag and MG thrown in along the way - I have bought a mini - I went to look at 2 used mini's but both were sold before I could test them but ended up with a demonstrator after some big discounting by dealer to sell me it

Very happy with the mini so far and puts my Range Rover to shame - actually thinking of getting rid of it but would need to get rid of caravan first

Been a member on Land Rover Forum for years and know how useful they can be so hope to keep dropping in

Will try not to go offroad but got roof bars for kayaking

Interested to know how it will cope with snow and ice from other owners - dealer offering winter tyre set for £420 - is it worth considering

Hello, you didn't read the instructions for new members which tells you how to post pictures!!!(just like I didn't and was told so in a rather abrupt tone). Seems a strange going on if you ask me but you are allowed to 'attach' pictures using the paper clip.

I pick mine up on Sunday, looking forward to it. Glad to hear you are happy with yours. I dabbled in Jaguars but it wasn't a good experience, XJ6 Sport that was forever going wrong.

I did read the instructions and managed to upload pictures but I could not get them to work in the posting

I dabbled with an X-type and was so disappointed I got rid within a year after crashing it in snow and driving down to south of france and being doubled up with back pain

Just tried again and worked for one but can't do anymore now

Until you have 15 posts you won't be able to copy and paste the clickable thumbnail image code from your MINI2 Gallery ... but you can attach a gallery image

Hello!
I always tell my husband that my next British car will be a Jag, but I really don't think I'll ever want anything but a MINI.
Happy Motoring!
