Brilliant mate!
I've still got that early 1.6 I wheel out in fair weather and am loathed to sell for what it owes me!
It can be left for a month and will always start, goes well, goes sideways even better and I look like the gay I've always wished I could be!
*EDITED* - Found a pic of the old girl:

Its a late one Paddy, its got most things apart from air con (or so she tells me), not sure if its got a hard top or not as her Dads dealing with it, apparently they offered £8750 for her 04 Cooper which has done about 14k miles, so no doubt he delivered them back a swift kick in the gonads in return

That one I've got has air con and I've never used it, what's the fucking point? Not like we live in a hot country and defeats the object of the roof anyway
The hard tops are dear to buy and a pain in the arse in my opinion. You can't just throw the roof back and enjoy the fresh air when it suits!

My ex girlfriend had one of the Mk2 versions and it was one of the best cars we ever owned. I drove it far more than my own car to be honest! People say they are hair dressers cars etc.. but it will out handle any std cosworth and with similar power it would give one a seriously good bashing round a track.

My mum has a mk2 1.8 on a V, drives it every day rain/shine/frost/snow, never garaged and she hardly looks after it (typical woman 
) and its doing alright so far, had a scare when it suddenly started burning shit loads of oil but it stopped and returned to normal as quickly as it started so I dont know what happened there 
you can get some really good roof treatment that I bought and applied for her seeing as she hasnt got a hard top and its out in all weathers, keeps the roof in top nick

I used to have a mk1, absolutely brilliant fun to drive. Had to get rid of it due to kids coming along
There are plenty of companies out there that do tuning for it (turbo and super chargers etc...).
Think there is an owners club as well

I wheeled the old girl out and took her to work today because of this thread, never fails to make me grin round the roundabouts
