Spoke too soon

It was all going far too well. Don't worry, the house is still selling but everything is now securely crossed. No, our little hiccup is the MINI. We were due to swap it for a new MX5 next Saturday, so what happens a week before it goes - the rear suspension collapses. Folks, whatever you do don't buy a MINI. This one has been a nightmare and of course it is just out of warranty, so our bank balance is about to take a big hit. It complicates things as we were part exchanging it for the Mazda and I suspect the repair won't be done within a week. DOH! I can't tell you how pleased I will be to see the back of that car. Ok rant over.
