I nearly got a MINI panel van. Then my wife saw the new one... and that's history :oQuote:

We have a number of options to go through...
1. Don't buy anything to replace it and make to with the fender
2. Buy something cheap for a while and maybe look at the new MINI next year.
3. Buy a Golf GTI or similar. Not to sure about new, but might be able to pickup a second hand one for not too much more money than the MINI.
Any ideas?
I have already had a couple of my "Dream attainable cars".
I had an Escort RS200 which was a dream as a kid and the first car I bought.
I had this one a couple of years ago. When i first saw the prototypes I just wanted one.

I have an XR6T at the moment which is a bit boring but is such a sweet car to drive around everyday.
Again abit boring but this is my dream car for the future.

I would love a 2 door falcoon,XA B orC would be OK.
A mate called in today,he just bought a XB 2 door with a 302.He already has a fully done 351,toploader and discbrake 9" rear end for it.And he is painting it flat black,a beast.He already has a RT Charger and is looking for a 2 door monaro(upto HZ) to complete his "aussie muscle coupe collection"

Hmmm... looks like the MINI may be pensioned off... and a VW go into it's place. Not as much fun as the MINI but much more useable for us. I hate driving with my knees around my ears now that we're carrying two kids around :o
I drove the GTI with DSG today and I want one. Absolutely stunning "automatic". We were blasting up a hill nearby and my mate was listening to the gear changes and thought Steve's nailing this. He looked down and it was in D for "Don't know". :D :D

Are you kidding? A rusty no value no appeal no performance 70's Falcon with a fancy paint job. They are used in place of garden gnomes in Housing Commission suburbs. If these things had a tongue, they would sit in the middle of the road licking their diff. centre.Quote:
