it puts the handbrake on for you it puts the wipers on for you it puts the lights on for you and being an auto it changes gear for you, how boring is that lol

I hired one of those! Drove me nuts! And you have this mantra "this is not a mini, this is not a mini" every time you come up to a bend or roundabout. You get so used to a car that handles well when you drive you mini every day :) I nearly crashed mine more than once....


now thats something i know very well after using my mini everyday then changing to the focus. Has nowhere near the same bite in corners or likes changing direction fast.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Heh heh heh, let the hire car mods begin.

First off remove the air box and trunking, it'll go much faster without all that unneccesary gubbins.

Next if it is a diesel try adding a couple fo litres of unleaded to a full tank of diesel, it'll go much better.

The tyre pressures can be let down a couple of psi to increase grip levels.

Rear headrests can sometimes be desirable so get them on ebay.

And don't forget to do emergency starts and stops whenever possible during your hire period.......

2. find max volume of cd player .
3. take , baseball cap and mirrored shades from suit pocket , turn said cap round wrong way .
4 . remove suit to reveal Sham 69 t-shirt.
5 . start engine .. while in gear
6. restart engine .. in neutral but with right foot planted to the deck .
7. Engage reverse , while looking as if your pulling away forward ... whist scaring the shit out the little spotty lad who has just spent 20 minutes showing you all the buttons .
8. Switch contact mobile number you just gave him off.
9. leave forcourt in a cloud of tyre smoke , with one finger out the window at him .
10.Find rev. limit in 1st 2nd and 3rd straight away .
11. Find out how far really will it go with the fuel light on .
12.If diesel , fill with cherry asap.
13. have fun , till have to give it back .
14. try not to bend it .

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

I once ended up with a bright red nissan Micra as a hire car. Sat in a queue or traffic, a load of builders pointed, laughed, then questioned my sexuality. Oh the shame.

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

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
