:good: Thumbs up all the way for the mini.
Great design, and a nice small car. Wouldn't mind having a go in one of them one day, but i think i might be a bit too tall to drive one on a daily basis 
And it doesn't get much better than winning the Monte Carlo Rally 8)

Well put a new door on it in the summer, got rid of some rust on the rear end, resprayed it and the boot, oh and repaired what turned out to be a rather large rust hole by the offside rear quarter paneland some other jobs  Oh and got a new skin for the other door they all seem to rust quite badly :bah: Still some on the A panel and scuttle panel. Sadly weather/ work got in the way :bah: Rust is a pretty much a constant battle.

A couple years ago over the summer I had a job working at a garage/gas station pumping gas. One sunday I was alone pumping gas and my boss just recently got the mini that was in the lot running again. Roaming around his desk I found the keys and kept trying to start it every hour or so.. I finally got it started and took it for a quick trip down the street!
The guy that I worked for is an amazing mechanic.. would work on everything... his garage was always littered with cars ranging from new Mercedes' to E30 M3s to classic Alfa Remeos..
The fact that I once risked my job just to drive one, I vote subzero
