Heh, no offence but I'd rather have the 3 series in the background than the Mini. :D

If I could be arse getting my camera out and going outside I'd have better pictures. In the mean time, these stocks pics I found online will have to do:

Imagine that in blue. 1995 Rover 416 SLi. 1589cc; 111bhp; Insurance group 11; 32MPG (actually about 31MPG in practise).

(Numbers from the parkers book guide. )

Edit: About ng's car - I did some looking, and frankly the Jetta looks a lot like the Bora - so if anyone needs a visual aid I'd use that.

Actually it's a 1 Series, and we also have a 5 series which is out of the shot. Plus, the mini is 1337 :P It's a good enough car considering I'm a 18-year-old student working in ASDA :D
