Well I am astounded with the Miss's Mini.

We went down to the Limousin, near the dordogne in France for a week.

The mini held me and Her in doors a Mediuom size dog in the back seats with the cover mini do over the seats, and two large soft bags with a weeks worth of clothes in the back. alonng with smaller bags stuffed behind teh seast and other stuff under the seats.

Plenty of room and Plenty nice enough on the 600 od mile trip down and back, even got puled by the Gendarme for doing 147kph banghead only 45 euro fine.

Well Impressed but looking to geting one of them Lohen chips to give a bit more umph along with K and N filter smooth bore pipes etc.

Cheers

BB

Simon, I also have a Griff & Mini but both are in Black. I'm also called Simon. If you have matching TVR & Mini with a missus called Jackie, what a stange parallel world ! (still dont understand why you took the Mini & not the Griff ..... you must have a mean dog !)

Right thats enough then, 3 Griff/Mini owners must be ok to start our own forum. We're going to the lake district later in the month, via Coventry Transport Museum, bit of a Land Speed trip. Anyway we're taking the Mini, but only cos its probably gonna rain and the central locking/alarm has gone t1t5 up on the Griff.

Al.
