The "new" Mini

Try picking them out of the tyre tread :-))

Especially with the dumb blond looking on.

You've not trodden on one getting out of Grumble again......not that I'm saying....

Dunno,but I had a Cooper S for 6 months, the worst car in the world. Very hard on petrol, very hard suspension, very s*it reliability. Pile of s*it made in the old Leyland factory.

Tell us more.

I had a 1275 gt engined Mini Pickup... went like hot snot... stopping however was a little less sporty.

Did 10000 miles in 3 months in it when I passed my test... and never left Staffordshire. Only let me down once, the battery lead melted to the exhaust whist crossing a flyover... engine died.. I looked in the rear view and it was like I was flying a red arrow. Disconnected the battery. Yanked the lead off the exhaust once Dad and I worked out what it was.. trundled off.

Worst job was the points.. it had the all metal none removeable commerical grill.

Sold it to a milk man who liked a lie in.... Ernie.

LOL, mine was a Mini made by BMW! don't get me wrong, it was fast as a bastard, having said that, it cost £18k, I just bought a Subaru brand new that does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds for the same price. The Subaru is so much better built than the Mini it's unreal. the Mini spent 27 days in the dock in 5 months for SERIOUS faults they could not sort. Also, the local BMW dealers are utter wankers.

All this chit-chat about Mini's makes me remember though, one of my first 'sexual' experiences was in a (real) Mini & I'm 6' 3" & 17 stone!

Doesn't that make virtually every experience in a Mini a sexual one...

Virtually, yeah! Even changing gear made me harder than fingering Mandy behind the bike sheds.....................

Excellent for driving around Coventry's sewers though if you find the Ring Road a bit hard going :)

It really is a twee pile of septic dog s*it. It does drive nice (but not that nice) look nice (from the front) but it has no character at all. it's very unreliable, very cramped in the rear (fronts ace for space though) & the only good thing about it would be the nice smiley wave you get from every fit blond on the road that drives one. Driving a Subaru gets you the same waves, but from drug dealers & gangsters! I liked the blond bit better!

Nige

Oi!! That's my missus... And she never lets me!

It's a long way to go in first gear!!!!

The Lightweight seems to work OK.

Sure, the last blonde was in her fifties, but she still looks in good shape. And there's room in the back for her wheelchair.

Erm... they're not 'waving', as such...

Now now!

If you have a genuine grievance and complaint about a BMW dealer then write to BMW UK and complain, they take it rather seriously. Their dealers are expected to be extremely professional and of the highest standard and they don't condone anything less, we get a phone call after almost every service to check on the dealer.

bastard, having said that, it

the same price. The

days in the dock in 5

are utter wankers.

BMW UK and complain,

professional and of the

I did report them. Waste of time.

And out of the wheel arches, get a couple of them jammed up there, and you're there ages trying to pry them out.. Little devils
