Does anybody here use their turbo mini as a daily driver and if so what are they like to live with?
I was originally going to use mine as a daily driver when finished but then i thought i might have it as a weekend toy (more bhp) . Now I'm starting to think it might be ok as a daily.
Thoughts?

Not a Mini, but a Sabre Sprint is my daily drive. It is turbocharged and in all aspects it could be considered a mini.

It's great as a daily drive. Good MPG, easy to get through the city centre and squeeze into small on-street parking spots, and always a laugh.

My car has one advantage over a mini though. Through the winter, it's not slowly disolving!

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
