    Aye just miss the noise and the go kart feel of the S, no hurry to sell though, always looking for a wee cheap one to have as well as the Clubby

    Thanks for the welcome guys, I've not really set my mind on anything particular yet. I don't do a lot of miles so doesn't have to be diesel although the sensible bit in me thinks a diesel would be best lol.

    Think it will be probably be a cooper either petrol or diesel although haven't ruled out an s although it's the n14 models as my budget won't stretch to a newer one

    ^^^ that's a pity as Spud has just traded in his R56 to HF, Kirkcaldy. Electric blue with white roof and relatively low mileage. Give them a ring they may be able to assist if it's an R56(S) you're looking for ...

    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.

    To be honest digi I'm selling my TT as I need something a bit more sensible to run alongside our family car. I need something I can get my valeting/detailing and pdr gear in if I need to and occasionally take the kids in but still want something a wee bit different. A lightly modified clubman kind of ticks most boxes

    I just bought my first mini after years of looking I can honestly say I don't miss my old car (Nissan juke) I took my time and found my wee one by accident was literally looking randomly in garages and knew I had to buy her!! Good luck on the hunt finding your one!!
