Right this is going to be easy, who on the forum doesn't own a Mini ?

 

I did until some pissed idiot wrote it off outside my house

 

bummer buck, bagsy the nearside headlight assy.

 

It's gone, real shame, my brother bought it new, an 05 plate, only 46k miles, got paid out extra on the insurance as they couldn't replace it.
Not bothered since, two bikes, no car.

 

Only joshing Mike .......... good job you weren't in it Bud !

Just saw an “older model” on Gumtree for £250. A younger me would have probably bought it, got some damage but not too bad. On second thoughts prolly a whole heap o’ trouble.

I wouldn't touch an early petrol version, the diesel "one" is a good 'un 1.4 Toyota Yaris upgraded engine bulletproof and so economic. High mileage petrols mean possible clutch replacement not a cheap or easy job.
