    Great news Ken. I don't want to stray off topic, but I was always made to believe it was safer taking a loan from the car company anyway as if you have problems with the car you can stop the finance until the car is sorted or the dispute settled, but with a bank, they will demand payment regardless as they have just given you a straight up loan and don't care about your car. (please correct me if I am wrong with this)

    Your correct Neil. In most cases a bank loan is known as a "personal loan" and the bank don't really care what it is spent on or if there are probs with the goods.

    You would think with the state the banks are in they would bend over backwards to bring in custom on loans. That’s really poor from them that in the end you had to say “ Get stuffed”

    Well done PV on getting a deal done so you can get the car.

    ( I have no obligation with Peter Vardy and all opinions are of my own!- oh and the fact they owe me a brand new Astra GTC!”)
    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!

    Got it! ...and it is lovely. So smooth to drive. What a difference regular tyres make.

    Will get pics done soon.

    Once again, thanks to the people at PETER VARDY. In my opinion they are well worth speaking to if you are looking for a new MINI.
