I was waiting at the lights after dropping Freyja off at school this morning when a spooky thing happened. The car suddenly made a strange ´clunk´ and dropped down by about 6 inches - most out of character - and when the lights changed, it wouldn´t budge! Turned out the automatic gear box had gone, and a bloke had to come and take the car away. So now we have another one - a brand new mini cooper! My first ever car was a mini! But this one is rather more flashy than Eliot, who was born in 1972 and never made it past 65miles per hour. No, this baby is slick - as you can see from the photo.
