Hi guys, I just drove all the way from melbourne to adelaide and back to melb non stop to see my rover mini that brickworx are building for me. 17 hours on the road and I only spotted 1 mini the whole time! A metallic grey morris on cross road just off the princess hwy in adelaide. Whats the deal? where is everyone? surely a little heat wave isn't going to stop you driving ur mini is it?..... 8)

Umm, it's hot maybe? Actually, it is surprising how quiet the roads are when it heats up a bit. Around here in Bentleigh half the shops closed because there was no one around. Are we going soft?
