Our MINI Adventure is over...

[MrMischief]

Well, I'm sad to say that our wee adventure has come to an end.
The ex-Flying Scotsmin's away to find a new home for itself - last seen sobbing on Town & County Honda Aberdeen's forecourt :sad::sad::sad:

I gave the wee one a last loving wash & took a few snaps for posterity hours before heading up north.

Gutted at pic quality but I was running late :argh:

What a great wee MINI someone's going to get. They better look after it :nag:


Anyway...the new machine is this wee Honda Civic EX 2.2CTDi, seems to handle pretty well & is quite torquey too. :smilewinkgrin:

Also has quite a few toys on board - satnav, reversing sensors & cam, bluetooth, ipod int, xenons etc.

Is it a new Civic, just wondering if they fitted the newer DTEC engine?

We had the early 2.2 cdti, it was a really noisy car, I was so glad to see the back of it.

Take it you were needing more room? I liked My Honda so much I kept it from new for eight years, bit boring yes but never went wrong once. I do miss the boot space at times over the Mini.

Yeah, the JCW seats & small boot were never designed for young kids unfortunately :frown:

Not sure that it's DTEC but I'll have a look, it's pretty quiet though.

Nice one Steve ! ;)

we have just got rid of one pretty much like that. Car pulls well all the way to 130 apparently :Whistle:

[The Dogfather]

Is it 138bhp or 150bhp?

If its 138 then its the earlier engine, perhaps they've improved the sound deadening though. Ours was a 57 plate.

Could already be sold. Saw a very similar car yesterday minus the stripes. But still had the Saltire. Couldn't click who's it was

I loved my Type R but it drank petrol sooooooooooooo much . Enjoy the car

It's at Crown Motors in Turriff, just found it on the 'trader...

We still miss it, Luca loved playing peek-a-boo through the harness slots :smilewinkgrin:
