Due the arrival of a campervan/bike wagon and me walking the whole 200yds to work we are now a 1 car household. Wife has had a Fiat Siecento for the last 7yrs and loved it. I have to say as an about town diddy car it's great as it costs bugger all to buy and run and you can park it anywhere. As an only car it does not cut it though and I'd rather she was driving something a little safer on the motorway (you get blown around something terrible) and going more than 40 or 50 miles is a tiring experience. She also says that I (6ft, broad shouldered bloky bloke) look like a total tw*t when I'm driving it!
She wants something with character and still quite bijou so despite seemingly every other car on the road being one, she wants a mini. My plan is to sneak a 2nd hand Cooper S past the house finance committee (her!) so that when I get to drive it every now and then I've got something to look forward to!
Question is - will I still look a tw*t driving it? Is it really a bird's car or can a bloke drive one without looking like a hairdresser or an estate agent? Responses from stubbly lads or ladies that like same much appreciated!
