heartagram Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I likes the look of that coupe Mini. The old Mini and the new Mini cater to two different markets though. If you want something safe, reliable, that has all the mod cons you can't really get a classic Mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinos69 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yes too common. See them all the time. Every time somebody does something to it its always the same, hardly ever looks different to the next mini. Limited amount of styling done on them. Can imagine a Mini show would be the dullest show of my life. My opinion on old Minis, ladies and gentlemen.

rinos69 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) i was there with my mini... 2100miles trip from italy... simply wonderful, but each to their own ideas Edited September 8, 2009 by rinos69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinos69 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 well forgot to mention i was in Zandvoort (holland) at the mini united with my previous BMW MINI back in 2007, also that was before i 'saw the light' and switched to a Real Mini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Some nice examples there, but all the nice ones are the stock ones, just uber clean. The estate, or pickups do look rather stupid, especially when they have tinkered with the styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam K Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 i once had a classic mini cooper. had it for a month. worst car ever. can't see why anyone would want to own one longterm. uncomfortable, bumpy, slow, noisy, no luxuries, small, heavy steering. not really anything to like about them.

Of course it's going to be slow, cornering makes up for it though, they can out-corner anythingApart from a Lupo on coilies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 My W-reg one was a money pit. I enjoyed driving it, but hated spending every week on another new fault. I think I replaced all of it bar the basic shell because it was so bloody rubbish. The new MINI Copper one we had in 2002 was a joy to drive and own.

Only things that went in almost a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
