P13H34D Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 cheers for putting them up, love the mini. Im only 16 atm and my dad bought me a mini on my 15th bday, it had a flooded engine and a fair but of rust (which my dad could sort out as he owns a body shop) but all that happend waas i stripped it and then my dad was too busy so he rang me tonight and said he has sold, which i wasnt fust about as told him i wasnt going to finish it (it was going to be a lot of money and time) . So atm i am wanting to get a polo or lupo, but mainly a lupo (obviously) anyways after my essay lol cheers for posting the piccies and look forward to seeing more of your progress with the loop.oh and i thinki it will look ace in whtie, but is the new colour of the moment going to be green? as mazda 2, focus rs , and a fiat thing are advertised in green?

MattyB Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I remember seeing that for sale - IIRC they material is the same as they use on Astons (or was it Bentleys) and a similar style. Looks expensive, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 hi karaif you don't mind me asking what did you pay for her and how did she end up in scotland? (if that's where you are) did you buy her in scotland or did you travel down here??she was like a boomberang for a while - i live in rhos on sea, north wales, i part ex'd her in chester in 2004 for i think £9k+ in the same vw dealership that i bought her from new for a new 04 plate blue gti that i still have, then a few weeks later a girl that lives less that 1/2 a mile from me bought her (should of sold private) then i saw her for sale in think in angelsey, then the last spotting till now was in tesco llandudno junction!!!i'll see if i've any pics, i try to put them on here (i'm crap at things like this!!!)when i sold her i think she hadn't done many miles, the wheels may have been slightly curbed but she was in good nic, my boyf is the car fanatic so her washed and waxed etc.... the only real 'damage' was caused by my dulux dog hugo, dog hair and a chewed rear seat belt which i hid when i took it in for part ex!!!!! didn't have any mods either, though i like what you've done (like the wheels) i realy can't be arsed, hovering my car is a once a year job (though i have to do it today cos me and sis are gonig on road trip tomorrow and she allergic to dog hair!!!) Sacrilege i know, will probably get kicked off here now for cruelty to lupo!!!!anway best get back to work, happy driving, claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i didnt add to it!! i promise!) the car has now done about 78000 (i think, again i'd have to go check!!) im always driving so it'll be a high mileage car by the time i move on to something else/another one!seat belt seems to have been replaced! thanks very much!! it hasnt let me down so far. she gets washed at least 3 times a week now!! :o the other half spent a silly amount of money on decent cleaning stuff. and i got him his DODO buckets for his bday so, she's well looked after in that department!! i really need to get another hobby!!! hahaTake it easy claire! and send me some pics!!!!
