is mini guttering a lot more expensive than the standard size stuff?

Anything non standard is always more expensive
Well there is as much mini guttering as the full size stuff in my local b&q. The full size stuff is available in three colours.

Not sure I would regard mini guttering as non- standard on that basis?

That's a bit like saying why are 5ft fence panels more expensive than 6 ft fence panels

Mini is made by BMW, so it’s bound to be expensive.

Dreadful things. Great fun for about five minutes until the skin on your elbows gets chaffed as there is no room. Or should I say 'chavved'.

The worst of a bad lot is the convertible diesel version.

An interesting fact - no two of the 'modern' Minis are exactly the same (other than the fact they are all crap) - when they are being ordered/built a computer programme says 'nein' if the specification if the car being built is exactly the same as one that has been built before.

Anyone who knows anything about collectible cars will appreciate that 'one of one' is very valuable.

I'm not sure that a 'one of one' Mini will be worth as much as say a 'one of one' 65 Mustang though,

So why are you looking for Mini guttering then? Isn’t there any Mustang guttering?

I used to have greenhouse guttering, that was quite cheap & did more to save the planet than driving a petrol car.

Couldn't agree more. At what point did the bloke who designed the mini convertible look at it and say "Yeah that looks ok"? And as for the mini clubman - you're only ever going to look good in that in a coffin.

The bloke that designed the mustang couldn't go wrong. He started with a V8.

My personal favourite Mini is the one that only has one rear passenger door.....cunningly on the side that means the passenger has to get out in the middle of the road. Sheer genius.

The convertible is truly appalling - looks like someone has stamped on it.

Come on you Hatters
Most of the current range of Mini’s should be called fecking Maxi’s, there all bigger than the original Maxi, so how the feck can they be a Mini:mad::mad:

I actually quite like the original bmw mini, and think a really nice early one, looked after, could be an apreciating classic in due course. But most of the rest of the range especially the god aweful clubman, are just crap. But then the fiat 500 range are the same.
