My family, especially my mum, has always wanted a MINI and when the opportunity came to finally own one, they grabbed it with both hands. It all started one day when we were driving and we seen a a lovely Ice Blue MINI with black rims. I have always been the one who likes cars in my family(apart from my dad, of course, he was a mechanic) so as we got in that night, I had a look on AutoTrader but my mum and dad didn't like to purchase cars from AutoTrader because you never really know what the car is like, I think my parents are just paranoid because my dad has bought cars from AutoTrader that are not what they thought. We went to a Williams Dealership the following few days and had a talk with a the saleswoman and she basically explained what you get if you buy from the dealership. We were there for awhile when I noticed a MINI that caught my attention, a MINI Graphite. I rushed over to take a look and instantly fell in love. I called my mum and dad over to take a look and they were skeptical at first, they much preferred another MINI which was IMO, a horrible Spiced Orange Metallic colour and had horrible plastic rims but I worked my magic and brought out the negatives about the car and would you believe it, they listened! In the next few days we took it for a test drive and we felt the agility and nimbleness of it(which was great, by the way). Instead of me, it was we who fell in love and we bought it in the next few days. As it's my mum's car she hasn't done anything to it. My mum was at work one day and on approaching the car there was a massive scratch across the bonnet costing £500 to fix as the Williams dealership garage had to change the bonnet stripes and repaint over the area that was scratched aswell as replacing a side window. Nothing else has happened to the car apart from my mum customizing it a bit by putting black, grey and white union jack scuttles and mirror covers on.

I would like to post some pictures but I've lost the connecty thing that connects your phone to a laptop so I guess you'll all have to wait for the pictures, but don't get too excited.

It's late at night here in England and considering I'm only 13, I don't write like an award-winning author but yeah. Oh and yeah, I will update this regularly but we never really do anything to the car as my family aren't the modifying type. Sorry. :(
