Bastards, somebody dumped that on your drive while you couldn't see them ?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

2 Get the brush and pan out cause all that columbian marching powder could finance some serious locost parts

3 Or maybe the bakers van has shed its load

well, the car is my neighbours, thats for sure.

The white stuff tastes damned cold and of water so I guess it must have just been a very heavy frost, although it did not stop the kids next door having a "snowball" fight and making "snowmen". winters finally on itys way....

yeah, right

must admit, in a moment of madness a couple years back I looked at the mini as an alternative to a company car

when the salesman came over, i couldnt actually say it was for me, and told em it was for my wife. I rapidly went off the idea!

Must admit - so did I, the Cooper S. Backed out when I read the reviews about them overheating and being quite unreliable. Space didn't worry me - which was just as well!

The dealer was so SMUG that's the reason I didn't persue the car any further.

i did test drive the new mini several years ago and it was a really good drive, I would have got one apart from the boot is almost zero. Went for a focus oil burner instead.

Just foundout is actually was snow afterall, I live and work near Didcot Power Station (<1 mile away) and with all the cold weather the steam coming out of the cooling towers can turn into snow. You learn something new everyday...

its really only a two seater if you adjust the seat to suit - and im only 5ft 9 and a bit. For a car thats bigger than the original mini, they wasted the space a bit
