If you saw a Mini or a moke broken down on the side of the road, would you stop and help? If you were on a long run with a group of mini's and mokes, would you stop? :?:

I would stop....and have done so both when just driving the streets and when on a run.

What provoked this question Aaron?

Many years ago when I had one of my first Coopers, a mate had a Beetle. He always laid crap on my car. Thing was, he kept breaking down and I was the dude with the tools and car to get him outta the shite.
If I am gonna stop for a Beetle, I will surely stop for a mini. Sticker or no sticker ;-)

Just interested to see, if people are like me and stop when they see a mini/moke stranded. I've even stopped for a morris 1100. (scary, i know) the woman driving basically said don't bother, keep going, assuming I wouldn't be able to help her with the old car. She was a happy smiley lady when she was on the move a few mins later. Dissy wire had fallen off. Still see her round in the morris 1100, she never waves though. :roll:

Definitely stop and help. I've turned around to help someone on a dual carrage highway before, It might have been out of my way but hey, it was a mini :D nuff said!

even if its not a Mini Ill Stop. Most of the time they are in the right hand lane and just before peak hour and its a matter of getting them on to the shoulder.

Lol this exact thing happened today on the M4, red roundy, probably some guy from the bday bash was sitting in the shoulder so I went to pull over but he shoo'd me away :)

Was kind of expecting it with todays 41oC temps... my temp gauge was half an mm away for H :shock: Hottest it's ever been. If it went any further I'd pull over.
