Most of the minis I seen were in pieces and yet there was tons driving around.

Yeah every year. And quite strict too. But cosmetic things not a problem on them. You should see the price of 2nd hand cars out there. Mad. Check out french e bay and look at some minis. Rust free but silly money.

these 2 are always in my mates apartment blocks carpark. The second one seems to have replaced a white one that was always there, which mustve given up the ghost.
and this, is my friends old mini, i asked where it ended up a while ago. seems like its been sold on twice since she had it.

That looks very like one that a friend of mine used to own, any idea if it had low mileage?
