rocket_rabbit Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 What's so eyebrow raising? £32k for a Mini that doesn't have laser guns or jet engines in is simply ludicrous! It's like paying £100 for a bag of McCoys because the crips are shaped in the letters of your name. Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 the link to the YouTube video is worth a look a few familiar cars - is that Pete's Civic? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 What's so eyebrow raising? £32k for a Mini that doesn't have laser guns or jet engines in is simply ludicrous! You could say the same about mk 1/2 Escorts though... <!--emo& or a whole host of other "classic" but once everyday cars. As it is this one appears to be the old tale of a car with some extremely expensive bits on it. Quote
lippydave Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Okey dokey then.... 32k does seem a tad excessive.... Sooo, your mission, should you choose to accept is to pick an alternative single car for 32k out of any of the UK based online classifieds that represents better value for money.... Simple rules, cars must be priced between 25k and 32k..... How much fun can we have for our money? (PS:Yes, I'm bored... ) Quote

I guess my question is, "what is the engine". Or is it assumed it's that well known, you shouldn't need to ask? Quote
lippydave Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I'll take THIS and spend the remaining 2k on an old Mini... Quote
Pilot Pete Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 the link to the YouTube video is worth a look a few familiar cars - is that Pete's Civic? No, similar shape but thats a baby 1.4 from the description. Quote
