Our first paddock beast:
picture of dilipatated mini

As you can see the car has seen better times. Our neighbours gave us the mini one weekend after we had been riding around the paddock on our motorbike.
Once we pushed it over to our place it took some effort to get it started. It ran well, good to learn to drive in. It did not go fast enough to endanger ourselves too much, but it had very little brakes and no handbrake.
It was awesome having friends around and hooning around the paddock in our orange mini. "Knackered Neville" (as it was affectionately known) died when the CV joints packed it in. It was miracle it still went the CV joints had no oil.
EPITAPH: The mini is now used as stress relief. The pickaxe marks and lead pipe in the back tell it all.
