Bullshit. ANY other modern-ish car will quite happily have its arse kicked for 9000 miles in 4 months and stand up to it.

I've done 88k in my focus in 2.5 years, have not serviced it in 2 years, and anyone will tell you I do drive my car a bid hard, towing the mini behind it at over 90 mph, not clever I know, but it just shows you what I drive it like.

Drive it like it's stolen!

saying it like that sounds harsh tom, i have driven a fair amount of cars in the 18 months i have been driving and i have managed to break everyone of them, mostly the escort (1.6 zetec) that took no abuse at all you pushed it a bit and it broke. There will always be a space on my drive for my nova i think. BUT THE MINI WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY GARAGE.

If I had a choice of two high-mileage cars to knock about as a daily dog; one with Vauxhall 1600 OHC, the other with the Ford 1600 CVH, I'd take the Vauxhall any day of the week...


Even if it was in a Nova!

because you can fit loads of mini parts in it, its easier to get them home to the garage *happy* and i wouldnt trust a fiesta van and corsa vans are too expensive :)
