hirezThe other night I was idly wondering where all the proper Minis had gone, since it's very rare to see them about in other than some tediously restored state.
They're all on ebay, and they're all silly money. For example, £1500 for one that's had a shit paint-job, shit plastic wheel-arch extensions, a shit interior and a shit sticker on the top end of the engine. It's also been recently pranged so you can see that under the shit paintwork it's just rust holding hands. In my day that would have been £150 for parts if one was feeling especially charitable.
Christ what a bunch of horrible, horrible bastards.
