The Mini is cool, that fucking thing is the automotive equivalent of self harming.

I imagine that Hooli has screwed up another update to the photo inverting feature and somehow his post has appeared under Eddie's moniker.
If the converse is true it'd also explain why Hooli seems to talk sense at times.

Fuck me. Last one I had flogged for a ton with dead engine. Still had a heap of MOT and Minishite wheels.

Mind you that was 20 years ago before loads of dicks started sticking bike engines in them.

As tempting as that Clubman Estate is and as much as Mrs SiC would probably like it, I think I need to go for the full Mini experience. I imagine the longer rear end of the estate takes away how a mini drives?

Maybe because they've had the hubnut effect on them?

I’ve never had an estate. 2 850s, an MG Metro engined City, an 1100 Clubman and an Mpi Cooper but all normal sized.

As a passenger though I didn’t think they were as pointy.

Yeah, that extra weight and backend must affect the dynamics of it. 70s BL weren't exactly going to engineer that out either.

Long before Hubnut.

You wait! You'll be wishing you'd listened to Uncle Eddie when you're sweeping your Mini up off the garage floor with a dustpan and brush.

It’s true, you can practically hear them rust.
