Snap! apart from the Mk4, I have a pug . That was really weird that I started my motoring out with a 850 Mini and also have Mk2 Driver now, too. I've had numerous vehicles over the last 25 yrs, too many to mention I'm afraid.

Austin Princess 1700HL Austin Mini - 998 (rolled once) Ford Pop with suicide doors, along with suicide body and suicide chassis. It was beyond repair, even if it did look and sound good. Roof was chopped 3 inches too... well wicked motor! VW Beetle that lasted for all of 3 days... I hated it, it hated me, and someone offered me 5 times what I'd paid for it, and it was nowt special!! BL Mini - 998 (rolled twice, and then again for giggles with some mates) Fiat 126 - with a VERY large hole in the floor and a knack of overheating when you drove more than 50 for more than half an hour! It's handbrake consisted of a house brick. Triuph GT6 - had it 8 months just before it self dismantled one day on the A167 Austin Metro - 998 Austin Mini Clubman - 998 Mini Cooper bored to 1380cc - and yes it went like stink!! Mini 1275GT - my favourite and last mini, Fully restored it, got it back on the road... for 2 days then some little git nicked it and burnt it out. Had a lot of rare and expensive bits on it, including full original cloth inside and only 14K on the clock. Citroen Van - I forget which type - a two seater jobbie, needed wheels and it was "it" Rover 113 (Metro) Daihatsu SportTrak Diahatsu FourTrak Vauxhall Vectra 2.0SRi Ford Mondeo Puegeot 206 Roland Garros - awesome little car! Peugeot 406 Executive Estate Seat Ibiza 1.3 MPi Mazda 3 Peugeot Partner Kia Sedona - that is SHEEEEEITE! and the '89 Scirocco that I've had for about 3 years now
