    Hi folks, my insurance money finally came on from my mini write off..... Bit annoyed with how long it's taken and that they've cleared the remaining payments of my insurance and subbed that off what they paid out leaving me with even less money to play with but hey ho.... Iv got £4500 to play with and I'm struggling to find a mini I love :( can anyone help me? I'm in fife but willing to travel for the right car, I just don't know where to start, it took me ages to find my first mini and this won't be much different I fear. The money came in about an hour ago and iv been online ever since checking for a replacement. Would have preferred an r53 but I'm totally open to suggestion.

    Thanks all for the comments appreciate the kind words ...
    The car is in better condition than some that's for sure but it's not my "mint" lol.
    It is however in great mechanical shape that's for sure and I'm happy to consider any sensible offer on it.
    Thinking about moving on to an R56 JCW or Clubby soon anyway.
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Hannah no it's not advertised for sale anywhere at the mo. I was/am looking to change it but not officially put it up for sale. If you're interested and want some details then I can certainly provide you with as much or as little info as you'd like.
    You've got PM ...
