    I wonder what it’s like to be impulsive ?

    I’ve been looking for this car for a long time, every other one I’ve looked at had the wrong wheels (I know they can be bought but couldn’t be bothered with the hassle), or the wrong interior, or the wrong lights.... this one has everything I wanted!

    So I now have the fun of a mini in a practical family size! She’s a thirsty beast though, worse mpg than my 2.0l RenaultSport, just as well these are nothing more than numbers!

    Mini for me was a impulsive buy, went for a look, had a test drive, decided I wanted one but had to convince the boss. Next again day picked it up.
