Have ben considering selling my mini and then the TVR to go with an Elise or VX, or possibly a old Griff and a Diesel 106.

The mini hasn't been driven for 2 years, just got it started, and went out for a bit of a blast!

Sell? Never!!!

Just too much fun, handles like it's on rails and the fun you can have at near legal speeds.

Could never sell.

know how you feel, i decided to sell mine for a number of reasons. But i took a mate out this weekend, we were blasting along at 8000 rpm down a dual carriage way. On 10inch wheels and a 3.7 final drive thats not far off 120mph, which was enough to convince me its worth keeping. Having said that even a standard 998 is absolutely brilliant fun.


Yep, I know, we've got 6 minis in the family, 2 70's Cooper S's, my massievly tuned 1 litre, my brother's tuned 1 litre and a std 1 litre, and a traveller. Every single one of them a hoot to drive.

3:76 final drive, 7000 revs, 12" wheels.
