I always enter any competition I see to win one like the Tic Tac competition out years ago when I was in school, you had to purchase a pack of Tic Tacs and under the lid it showed you if you were a lucky winner-well I must have bought hundreds of packs and friends bought me them too so I ended up with bags full of the green and orange Tic Tacs that I didn’t like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also several years ago I had a very bad experience with a black Mini that I won on an auction site when I was completely lied to about its condition and I was so disheartened to have spent my hard earned cash on a mini which was literally filled with holes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I vowed never to be fooled again and I promised myself that one day I will get my mini and that it will be the best Mini Cooper and everything I have dreamed of for many years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can put £500 into something that will really last and keep the gorgeous well known British car on the road for many more years to come.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3207060907877408642-8813297893207124308?l=500wouldhelp.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://500wouldhelp.blogspot.com/feeds/8813297893207124308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://500wouldhelp.blogspot.com/2009/04/mini-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3207060907877408642/posts/default/8813297893207124308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3207060907877408642/posts/default/8813297893207124308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://500wouldhelp.blogspot.com/2009/04/mini-dream.html' title='Mini Dream'/><author><name>charis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15503034488248908801</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
