Well I have a Mini and think it is absolutely brilliant. I am on my 2nd one (the other written off) and in all my years of driving, Polos, Vauxhall Chevette, Corsas, Novas, Wyvern, Seat and a Peugeot 206, it is the BEST.
;D ;D ;D ;D Not only that when you come to sell one you don't get a big depreciation in price. It is roomy inside and nothing like the original Mini which I did have in the 60's. Highly recommended. ;) ;)

Once had a Micra as a 'courtesy car' (which I didn't think was very courteous at all of the garage!). Nicknamed it the 'Nissan Hut'....

I love my Golf ;)

we got 16 bags of horse muck in the back of the micra, mind you it was a bit of a squeeze ;D

I've got a Renault Scenic and I love it as there is SO much room in it. My OH keeps threatening to swap it for a smaller car because then, and I quote.....

"you'll have to actually clean the boot out every now and then, instead of just chucking all your allotment stuff in and piling other things on top of it..there's stuff growing in there you know"

Needless to say, his car is very, very clean & tidy. ;D

Ha ha TC, same here. At the mo we've had a swap around as something seems to have dropped off Daughter ones car. She is only allowed to drive mine because hers is like a (dirty) stable on wheels and mine is like an allotment on wheels,.Daughter Twos car is very clean and girlie but I am allowed to drive it as she owes me money. ;D (oh the power) Bearded Wonders volvo is a very clean thing of beauty inside and out, but he pays to keep it so. ::)

Dual carriageway, nissan micra, two old ladies having a natter, doing 20mph on the outside lane, what do I do, If I go past in the wrong lane I could be in trouble.

Bloody things should be banned!

As all of you are proud of your drives, here's mine. mishubitsi singlecab pickup, a ton of manure/gravel/compost goes in the back, it tows my boat, de-mountable caravan for holidays, 40mpg 4x4 for when I need to go somewhere offroad, and the dog can ride in the cab without worrying about the mud.

There is also a clean car that I am not allowed to use unless I have been completely defertilised. A nippy little MG that goes like hell unless it is stuck behind a micra.

My student son has one of the old wedge shaped Micras. It's a cheap to insure first car and no-one wants to knick it.
There was no way he was going on my insurance - I drive a Subaru.
It's a fab car and you could get a pig in the back with the seats down.

Every time we see a Honda Jazz, we glance at each other & say - "Giffer". Since my mum bought one ( 70+) I have realised that no one under 60 drives one and it's usually a good idea to expect sudden swerves.

I drive Rover and I am very proud that I did not kill off a company slandered by the British press and public for years. >:(

I've got one too and looove it to bits!!

What's a boot for anyway if it's not to fill it with all your lottie stuff!!!!! Mine always has welly's, a big pink rubber trug/bucket thing (just in case i need to put something in it) some sacks, a big green sheet thing to keep mud off the car (huh - like I bother with that) and a big green square bag thingy just in case......

Tell him he changes it at his peril.....
