I-spy a 20 reg
They are out, and spotted 2 so far today.
A Mini Cooper,, the good thing about them is they are recognisable. The other thing flashed by on the A189 and could have been anything....SUV-ey in style and silver. The ubiquitous anonymous.
Regards Neil

It's just not so much fun as looking for 69's

It was easier in 1966 to spot a new reg......A 1966 Ford something or other

Re: I-spy a 20 reg
Last week I saw four Mercedes Sprinter vans (all 20 reg) on the back of a transporter going to Thrifty Van Rental (going by the logos on them).

Re: I-spy a 20 reg
I know very little about either the BMW 1 series or the German Mini but isn't the BMW rear wheel drive and the Mini front wheel drive?

Re: I-spy a 20 reg
I have to say I have always been a fan of twin exhausts, just because they look good, and I have considered directing the cooling air from my battery cooling fan out through twin tailpipes on the MX3 conversion plan. It may even give a miniscule bit of extra thrust to improve range!
