I needed a bakkie (pick up) for my shoeing business, but couldn't afford a lot - hence the Mini Pick up!! She served me well, but struggled with the huge hills in Grahamstown when I went to Uni. Was sad to see her go.....
May 24, 2008A very useful small box. Trmendous handling although when it goes wrong due to short wheelbase is is horrible, fast and unexpected. Generally understeers a bit, except on slippery roundabouts or any corner taken under severe braking, which are both much more interesting.
May 16, 2008This was my first car. I loved it and some little *@~#*%£ stole it! Brilliant fun, really economical, easy to work on. Not very practical for big people,or passengers, or shopping, or long trips! Really good for messing about and short trips

February 21, 2009I had a Mini Van in pale yellow. Good car fro running around in, but noisey, lacked performance, build quality and leaked water from the outside in! Drove all over in it and had some interesting times in the back of it.
