    The fact that I've only just put my old car up for sale after two years of owning the mini shows how sad I am! Even when discussions were happening of me trading for an Evo 6 I was getting upset, at the momment there are very few cars I would easily trade my mini for, a black GT3 however........

    Yes, well, we're trying to avoid seeing one of those!! I'm still cringing at the thought of us parting with money for the new clutch on Robs car:(

    How could you! I feel a traitor just eyeing up other minis. I'm buying a new house just so he gets his own car flap...although hopefully he won't go for adventures without me.

    The only reason I was looking elsewhere is that an average month just to run my mini costs me over £500!!

    that works out to be about 50p a mile based on a average yearly mileage of 12000 miles

    Yeah, but that's before I pay for the 3 sets of front tyres I go through a year and the 4 oil changes I do a year, and... and... and... it's never ending, but at least I have fun!!

    Mind you a new 997 may be a bit more...

    How do you manage to go through 3 sets of front tyres to many burnouts I think.

    I do at least 15000 miles a year and I like Toyo Proxes, and contrary to popular belief, I don't drive like a girlie, I'm quite hard on the car so I pay the price by replacing my tyres ever 5-6k!
