Hello everyone

[MLJ91]

Hi Guys,

I've had look around for a welcome area but couldn't find one, I'm not sure if that's the done thing around here but I thought I'd introduce myself. I've got a MINI and an A4 at the moment but looking to move to one car and start saving some money, as long as I have the MINI it will always be a money pit!

I'm thinking of a 320D so hoping to have a read around and see how people are doing with them and ask a few questions here and there.

Anyway here's a picture of the mini, I might do a bit of a build thread for it and I'll do my best to answer any mini related questions others might have as I know a fair bit and like to do my own spanner work.

Hello and welcome!

Be prepared for all those who's entire "knowledge" of cars comes from Top Gear reruns on Dave to whine on about your car choices and insist that you should buy something ridiculous like a TVR or an old Jag instead of a 320d.

Hi
And, as Ari said, be prepared!

The 320D is a fine choice for a daily driver, excellent all-round motor especially in touring guise.
I`d be driving one now if I wasn`t such a big Volvo fan...

Welcome.

That's a really smart looking MINI!

[pinchmeimdreamin]

Sod the 320D what you really need is a TVR

Welcome.

Newbie introductions are not the done thing around here, but we'll let you off since you're new.

Whats gone wrong on the MINI?

Welcome.

Have you thought about an mx5 or a skoda octavia vrs.
(had to get it in before anyone else).

Dont buy either btw. Both are garbage.
I have a massive flame suit

Thanks for the warm welcome.

MINI has couple of little issues but I'd love to keep it really, I'm just trying to be sensible as I'd like save for some bigger things in life.

Funny you should say that I now own both those cars.

A 1993 eunos roadster and a 2013 vrs estate.

Thanks John, I didn't know you were on here gramps.

Heres a shortish build thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I will definitly be picking up either a Mk1 MX5 or a R53 MINI next year to go along with the sensible car but for now I need something that will do at least 50mpg
