The guy in the passanger seat had no connection what so ever with the driver, he just got in and went for a tour of the campsites and was dropped back to us some hours later.

Aaaahhhh - the joys of Houx in the days when you could arrive on the Friday evening, get a camp site ticket on the gate, wash in a pig trough and hang onto your number 2s until near a more suitable facility.   On-site entertainment   complete with post-race drag racing, before the site got all organised with pitch numbers....

I knew it! What a relief, I was beginning to think that I'd dreamt that mini up. Than you Nordic!
He also had a rear end from another mini chopped in two and turned into a trailer if I remember right.
I have some friends who have also turned their rear ends into trailers.

Sorry for not being on the forum lately. I have been in France using that famous rear end for re-styling the rear end of their new range of laguna's!

I recognise you.  Didn't you used to work in the fish market in Lowestoft?

Sorry to hear about your rear end, perhaps a battered sausage may ease your pain.
