went to collect Eddie from his friends house earlier and their nextdoor neighbours have made an excellent choice of a P White Clubby D. they are very excited with their '08 reg.......
............didn't have a camera ..... at least now I can drive a little quicker down their lane as the locals there will think it's their neighbour :wink:

I rang our local garage to ask them for some bits and pieces for Saturdays Auction/Raffle at MTI. and they said that the Clubmando certainly was better if not a little quicker..... :wink:

Im just wondering how you find the D on a day-to-day basis?

I took a test-drive yesterday (faar more exciting than microbiology revision) and I thought it was a cracking little engine. I think I rather it to the petrol, but is it worth the extra £1k you think?

I cant really see myself dong more than 10K miles/year, over 6 years. So it is there or thereabouts.
Feck it, the MINI is bought with the heart. My heart aint happy with the Petrol. Nuff said!

I was just wondering how people liked theirs to be honest.

a clio driver decided yesterday morning that the back of the Clubmando would look better if he rammed it up the a*** whilst I was stationary at some traffic lights....... :x

the bumper has absorbed most of it but the support frame behind looks a little twisted :roll: the car was booked in for a few jobs tomorrow so hopefully Mini Assist can provide a car while the Clubmando is straightened out ....... ( plus I hope they can get the bits ? )

..... so I can't see me having a diesel for a few days :roll:

( oh look Nicky's left her car on the drive while shes gone to France :wink: )

That's terrible D.
But at least it was a small french car, so I'm sure the damage to you is minimal!!! :twisted: :evil:
Seriously though, it is awful, and hope that the Clubmando will be back to full lenght very soon.
