white smoke is water isn't it?

Shard

Indeed.

Would just be condensation in your system, thats steaming up as its getting hot by the exhaust.

Let it run for a good 5 mins before driving... clear up the water.

Had a similiar problem. Played with engine for a while then gave up and took it up to LINK. Turned out had a hole in the head gasket. Check for oil or crap in the radiaitor or as the others have said run it a bit may clear up good luck!!!

Cold wet morning = Water vapour out the exhaust pipe.

110% correct
as in yep it always happens
and its normal?
then thats good too

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but if your car sits for a while, and your valve stem seals or valve guides are stuffed, oil can seep down the valve and into the combustion chamber....then burn when the car is started.

I am no expert, so shoot me down in flames if I am incorrect

when i first got boris i was told that he had this problem with the valve oil thing with the stem,think it was fixed how would this afect my mini

Remedy: Don't give your car beer/curry combination the night before...
