Small Car Syndrome?!

The mrs has a Cooper S and I'm now using it as a daily drive. To be honest its not been looked after by her and I've been too distracted with my own car!

Driving it everyday has shown a few little niggles and a recent issue with the alloys left me searching for a cheap set to get it rolling again....

My search took me to MiniTorque forum, seemed to be an alright forum so thought I'd sound out a few other little niggles. Got some fairly decent answers on things and then delved a bit further.

I replied to a thread about lowering springs and got flamed!! Anything other than expensive coilovers you're a hobo apparently and I should sell it to someone who knows what they’re doing with cars

I think I'll be forgetting the Mini again and sticking to the BM

Although it did make me think that small man syndrome clearly extends as far as cars!!

Mini is like the little bratty brother that tries to be as cool as its bigger older brother but can't be...

Nice story.

I'm not generally too fussy about acronyms, but I wonder if in the UK "BM" means something other than BMW? LOL Here it does, and it's not pretty.

BM definitely means BMW in the UK! Interested to know what it means over there
