Well the time has come to say goodbye to the Mini, have had it since 2002 and its been one of the best cars I have had, and the amount of tuning options etc out there have kept me amused for all these years but ive taken it as far as I can (without bankrupting myself) so its time to move on.

So as a replacement Ive bought

Picked it up on Satuday and have to say I LOVE IT :thumbs up:

Saturday in Aberdeen was very wet, so took it steady driving home but Sunday was a beautiful day so managed to put it through its paces and its so much fun. Also love the fact that there are nearly as many tuning options for it as there are for the Mini, so Im expecting to be doing a few mods over the next few months :D

Havent had the heart to put the Mini up for sale yet, but it is going to have to go, so if anyone wants to make me a cheeky offer then PM me (you might be surprised by how little I want for it).

So after nearly 7 years of New Mini Ownership its all over, for now anyway, definitely wouldnt bet against me getting another one at some point.

Excellent choice - i've always wanted one of these. It's on the car shoping list should I ever win the lottery :D

Very nice Martin, the 350Z's a real performance bargain & stunning too. Which model did you go for?

Enjoy the tail out fun :thumbs up:

Its a 2003 GT Pack, so its not the up rev engine, but its only done 24,000 miles and is pretty much mint so all good. Few styling mods in the pipeline and then on to the performance stuff
