Spotted my very first MINI

[john]

Still going strong and looking good for a 51 plate, it still has the Carbon rear bumper cover too4330

[Craig]

Good spot !

[john]

It's now a low mileage car, I sold it with 19000 miles 1 year old, it's now only done 50000 miles and its the same owner that bought it from me.

[Craig]

Your tempted... I can tell ;). Good well looked after car ... Well second owner anyway :thumbs up:

[john]

LOL he said he will never sell it!

[MINIme:)]

did you chase him down then?! quite right :) I always keep a look out for my first mini but I think it went to auction at the other side of the country so not a clue where it is now. She was a great wee thing, I STILL miss the wood and leather steering wheel and gearknob :sad: (and the handling!)

Always good to see any of your old cars. I've previously come across my VW Polo in George Square (of all places) back many moons ago & also my Golf Gti whilst living in Dumbarton.

Wonder if your ex still runs on the original Midland box, would be kinda interesting if it did :smilewinkgrin:

other than routine servicing it has had nothing needed, he is delighted with the car

Saw my first Metro on the way to work one day near Lanark. It was very classy, Austin Rover Cashmere Gold top half and Home applied CASE Red to cover the rusty bottom half.

My Rover 100 was used by a garage near Biggar as a courtesy car. Very strange seeing it again months after I swapped it for my Rover 25.

Like all Metros, they've gone to the great Rover car park in the sky, but I've seen a couple of Rover 100s in Dumfries recently.

:lol: nice one John. I remember when I lived in Monifieth, a couple one road down from me got my 2002 silver/black Cooper after I traded it in, was a strange feeling seeing other people driving what was my car... :yes nod::lol:

[john]

I must have done a good job of running it in :)
