Otherwise known as "stupid car" people.

My dream wheels would have a TVR badge, but I don't think I could bring myself to be without a Mini.

Well I just got back from a trip to Airbus in Toulouse last night and the Mini wouldn't start! It seems the TVR has little problems but the Mini just wont start sometimes. I always fix it, my girlfriend thinks that the mini is a women, and goes through PMT!

It is a bit to have two completely impractical cars like a Chim and a Mini but they are very similar in some ways. The most obvious is the factor. In both cars I get out with a big on my face: the Mini cos it is just such a hoot to throw about and the Chim because it sounds wonderful and is amazing to drive.

Love them both to bits and quite glad someone else it just as crazy!
