"I've never felt safer than in my Mini. It really grabs the road."

I agree - I learned to drive in one of them. They're very nippy. I'd have one if I didn't need something a bit bigger for taking to festivals, transporting teenagers and dog, etc.

I own a 6 year old Ford KA. It's fine, though I have had to have a new clutch and some other bits that cost me £700 just before Christmas last year...I think it has its MOT in January *fingers crossed*
