Zedrush (aka bonehead) - bloody excellent and made me laugh this morning, you may be correct there, however i think you know that i am pretty stubborn and if i didn't want to do this and get another zed right now, then i would, but things change, priorities change and having space for the little one right now is priority, fast cool cars can come at a later date. What i missed most about having the 350z, wasn't actually the car, it was the social aspect of it and seeing you guys and having something to talk about, that obviously grew with certain members and now i dont just have the car to talk about. My frustration has come from not being able to get to meets and drives to see everyone, which to me is more important than the car. By having a different car does not matter, it just means that i can drive over to see you lot when you do the London meet etc...Come the future, who knows what will happen, however the aim is to get a camaro in a couple of years and by getting a cheaper car now for a while, i can do that, plus save up enough each month to actually afford it on my wages in about 2 years time. That to me is a very promising plan, hence the agreement that we should get a joint car now.
Chest - i will give that a go mate, sounds like a plan however i dont care about speed so not too bothered about the cooperS, if i want speed i can do a track day and hire a car or something, seems that i am becoming tame!
Kev - I have a test drive for the new mini pre 06 and post 06 on the weekend to see the difference and decide what to go for. I have driven a Mini one and hated it as it didn't move, i am expecting the cooper to be a bit better build wise, however according to most they have a hard ride, which i quite like
Digs - do you mean the new shape Mini or old old shape? Or do you mean the pre 06 or post 06? I am looking at a 2004/5 as i only want to spend about £11k so i can get one of those with low miles for that money.
Zum/H5 - not sure what engines the 2004/5 have, but i think it is the BMW engine, i will find out though. Im not too bothered about Chrysler engines lol.
ir_fuel - i asked for help on the Mini not my life, that's all in order thankyou, however if i needed assurance and advice i know where to go.
Ricky - you know Jay cant work his phone with his buffoon hands.
