Why do people vandalise minis?
I don't get why people feel the need to vandalise at all but anyway.
Not sure, over the course of a month or two I had someone stand on the roof, steal my wing mirrors, key it, rob all the external trim... I live in the centre of Bath, so it could be that it was so pretty that it drew the attention of drunks? |

We once found a mini "parked" on it's side Rodbourne as we walked into town. It was still like that as we walked home so we pushed it back onto it's wheels.

When a classic car is called 'super' or (in my current Mini's case) 'High Luxury' it usually means 'there is a everso slightly different interior or you might even just get a limited edition paint or could be as simple as you get a different gear knob & steering wheel. If you look over the history of the Mini there are hundreds and hundreds of variants and 70% of them are exactly the same except one or two minor cosmetic changes  Good old bit of marketing! |

I had a silvery blue A reg Escort 1.6 (I think it may have been a Ghia as well!)
Just had a look and some are for sale at 2k now! Should have kept it!

Copper, I like that. But we both know it's brown. |

I had a B (82) plate silver Escort 1.3L - with a black rubber spoiler. I crashed it into the side of taxi exactly one week after passing my test, driving out of the CG car park onto County Road. 😎.
