My New Car
 
Thanks to my Gran leaving me some money, I've finally been able to buy a car I've always wanted.

She's called Eve (after Gran) and I now enjoy driving again.

Now go find out how much it would cost to give it a race-car paintjob. :up: :D

Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Maybe you can get that fixed one of these days

<ducking>

Nice looking car!

The spare tire doesn't take up much room does it Robbo ... :lol:

but that's a great first car ... drive safe now :yep:

I went to this mechanic (I live in America) and he had 2 mini's parked behind where the spare tire changes are kept. They were original Mini's from the 60s.

My mechanic has two original Minis on his property. One is in excellent condition (though not currently drivable), while the other has rust and other weather damage to both the body and chassis, but he's in the process of restoring it (he had to replace the rear subframe, for example. I don't know where he got it, but the replacement part looked brand new).

Done in 5 seconds with a simple JPEG editor. :know:

what a lovely car!

I dont care how powerful they make em these days, nothing tops a nice car like a mini. they dont make em like they used to.

And if anyone wants to try and change my mind by giving me a nice new car to erm test drive...... feel free!:smug:

robbo180265 04-12-07 01:51 AM

Took me a while to find the screenwash bottle and battery(they're in the boot with the spare wheel)

I've been driving cars for years now just not been able to afford a mini in such good condition, they go for quite a bit over here especially the old shape. She really is a dream to drive (like a go-kart) and such fun too:up:

Edit: And yes, we may drive on the wrong side of the road - but we were doing it first;)

No No No..:damn::damn: Why don't people get it. We are on the correct side and everyone else is wrong.:D

Nice ride mate. Now get yourself some low profile wideboy tires.:up: The original Mini's are sooooo much fun.

Drive Safe & don't hurt her.:yep:
