Stop giving it to doughnuts & fuckwits & start taking it to mini specialists to be worked on

lol Fee, its so funny you go over the smallest of bums and you jump right out of the seat bumping your head of the roof. We raced my mum on the motorway the 1st day we got him, I was crapping myself

Gone from York to Doncaster in my Brothers below, few country blasts and usual trips in to town. My ears ring like mad whenever I get out and I'm sure theres more comfortable ways to travel, but once you're inside it has to be the most fun car to drive around in!

Thats just like one that was for sale at same time as the one we bought, Green Cooper - only 21k miles & was cheaper. But Jade had to have the Blue one with the fancy roof
