And a correct boot handle, I hate those flat, late ones.

Typical thing I'd expect you to like. Fillered up shite made shiny. A right wobble is going on those side panels and door handles with rough filler work. Likewise the windscreen scuttle.

No wonder they only put the video up in 480p!

My Ma had a Mini Se7en like that when I was a boy. Magic wand gearstick and push button starter on the floor in front of the driver's seat - the bakelite button used to spring out sometimes - but you could just put the spring adn the button back.

It had storage bins to each side of the rear seats with little toggle switches that illuminated wee bulbs so you could see the ashtray and bin.

That'd be a '59 I think. I had a 1960 that turned out to have been built in 1959 which had those illuminated pockets. Didn't know until I'd cut it up, though....

A miserable way to travel. Encountered a Morris Cooper on the motorway as I drove home from Beaulieu and thought how bunched up the occupants looked, and noisy. The other one I saw (might have been a Mini event on?) was broken down.

One hesitates to take the piss, but fooking hell....


Ah well, I suppose they've already flogged half the kitchen like that.

I dread to think what her "triangle of doom" looks like.

Plenty of unswept area judging by those blades.

A picture paints a thousand words, innit?

It's uncharitable of me, but I wonder about how said items were acquired.
