>>How did you get that car Russ?

Well, there was a time when IT used to pay OK. Boy, do I miss those dot com boom days πŸ™‚

But, it is not a massively expensive car (2nd hand), just not practical for most people's needs.

But it is really quick - and a true drivers car. No luxuries, all about fun. :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

And we were parted in the summer. The worst time to break up😞

Fine if your mates are dwarfs!

Mini-Coopers really are fine cars, although they are getting way too common now. (in the UK)

If you can afford it, go for the Cooper S. Although they look quite silly, they are supercharged, so go quite quickly. (and handle well too)

I cant afford either now....I'll have to wait a few years before I can buy anything new (if mom and dad pay for everything else that I need)

I got an offer to work at a camp next year (its the same camp I'm going to this year) I'll take it and see how much I can rake in per-month before I even try and guess how long it will be before a mini cooper (maby 'S'πŸ˜‰ is in my drivewayπŸ˜€. also I heard somewhere that the coopers here in the US are a bit wider and longer then the ones in the UK (not sure why) and when I got in one it was alot more roomy then I thought it would be.
when I get enough money to get it I'm going to wait a little bit longer so I can get a GPS in it.....so I dont get lost and pluse it looks coolπŸ™‚

oh and in the US the cars arent to populer yet....but they look coolπŸ˜€

Has the remake of the 'Italian Job' been released State side yet?
[This is one film Hollywood should never have touched 😠 ]

I have seen a film poster about, and all the Minis are Cooper-S. This will no doubt boost the popularity of the car in the US(unless the film is a stinker)

Well if you see me about (plodding around in my shorts, my new uniform now I have quit my job), then do stop me for a chat!

It is a mega coincidence.
