Bit of a treat for the mini owners here then. i thought the Hyabusa turbo engined one was quite good.
the rest... hmm seems there are sooo many ways to display defective personalities with a Mini
Winning the mint 998 Cooper would be nice. I can just imagine the winner adding pink perlescent paint, big rims, a huge exhaust, standing back and going "coool"!!! ;D

Please don't get me started on how wibblepoo the program was last night........ Oh well................. The guy from Classic Cars telling you about the Cooper you could win knew diddly about Mini's! - Moonshadow white - WTF?? - Old English White or Black where the only colours to appear on the roof of Copper's / S's. "Brake dust show's that this is a working car" - nope it just shows that Vikki Butler-Henderson has just ragged your car around the grounds for 10 minutes! Those bucket seats it had in it aren't the original optional ones. They're reproduction items that looked brand new. The original ones are a completely different shape. And the cars they chose to show you..........! 1st - the short NOS Pink thing. How the hell can a front-wheel drive car pull wheelies? (Anyone else notice how uneven the ride height was?) 2nd - The Blue pick-up. Cost how much?? "You don't get a smooth ride with a 2K kit, this one cost a lot more" When he was demonstration it, the car was jumping and jurking around everywhere! + what a tit the owner was! 3rd - Autotest Mini - probably the only decent Mini they showed! 4th - The fastest Mini - plums! The fastsest is the twin bike engined Mini from Z Cars. The one they showed probably had the most bhp, but certainly not the quickest! Oh + there's a 3 ltr supercharged with NOS Mini about (not sure what the performance is like, but I'm sure it would kick it's ass!) 5th - The winner (I think) Paddy Hopkirks winning Monte Carlo car LRX 829E. That car's never been anywhere near the Monte Carlo Rally, or was never driven by Paddy Hopkirk! (not sure why it had a driver plate for Paddy!) History of LRX 829E can be found here: www.smithmaps.fsnet.co.uk/lrx829etext.htmThe winner should have either been 33EJB - the first ever Mini to win the Monte Carlo in 1962 - Paddy Hopkirk / Henry Liddon. Then it went on to win the 1963 Tour De France and the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally. Or it should have been 621 AOK - the first production Mini to roll off the line @ Longbridge in 1959 Both of the above cars are owned by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust's collection, Gaydon. Case rested.

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

mmmmm.... fit. Sorry guys... even the best pic that I could find, isn't exactly gorgeous. I hereby challenge ANYONE to find a picture of VB-H, looking fit... I'm not saying it can't be done, just that I can't find any appropriate pictures!

Yes, well, perhaps some of those pics are bit less than totally flattering.
i think she belongs to that group of women that if they worked in your office they would be just plain (gettin too sexist for you - tried to type that more P.C. but there was no way forward) but because she does something "glamourous" and has a big personality it all works.
They cloned her from Phillipa Forrester don't you know!

The question you need to ask is how many women are on the list!

Not debating her entry into totty hood (!!), just expalining that there is more to top-totty-tasticness than ravishing good looks alone!
