I bought a 1979V Mini for £50 when I was 15 (15 years ago)We used to get pissed, push it down the road, put it into first and start the engine. I loved living in the country where there were no coppers. :D

£350 when i got this one,but I've had much the same experiences as Mr Catfish, namely camping in wales one time...
used the headlights as a light source for the party... loaded everything up in the morning to set off and of course the damn thing didn't start.
^I think Alec Issigonis' original design must've been something like that ^

Arf!Mini thinks he's people! Nothing like a party with car headlights. Shame the poor thing died on you though.

Haha!I'm sure it was worth it though. Reminds me that I should arrange a camping piss up soon. Even though I travel like hell with a hangover :-S

Wellsummer's only a few months away... plenty of outdoor parties and festivals coming up. the only problem is to decide which, then raise the cash to go. Reading's a must for me.
