    Absolutely no problem Stewart

    I knew it was meant in jest and I wasn't 'annoyed' as such, just didn't want folks thinking I was swanning around like Lord Muck - that would ruin my 'Socialist Credentials'!

    I know exactly what you mean about your MINI Re. your Dad. I got mine 3 weeks before my Mum died (sudden and unexpected), so she never even got a run in it. She did sit in it (pre-Works chairs!) and pronounced the car "Lovely!". She loved all my MINIS, and soft git that I am, I keep a wee 'memento' of hers in the glove box, so she's with me in spirit every time the car goes out.

    Probably telling me to SLOW DOWN...

    One of the first things I thought when I parked it outside the house was my dad would have loved this, first person in my car was a neighbour who came out wanting a run in it. Next up was to show my Mum who was in Hospital at the time, I did not even tell her until the day before I got it. She still did not believe me till I flashed the lights

    Good no hard feelings, oh and its ok to have a memento/ Lucky charm in the car I seem to have had the same McDonalds Smuf toy unopened in my cars for the last thirteen years!!! Its been in the Mini from day one!
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    To bring it entirely back on topic!


    With regard to the three GP2 showing up on Cherish it will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to be snapped up.

    Ta Jo, it's like a 'softest person on NMS' competition!

    Regarding the evo test & times of the GP2, I do wonder what times it would do with 250 or 270bhp


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    You don't have to drive flat out though, 250bhp is there if you need it, not all the time. However, I do drive flat out quite a bit. So I'd like more power.
