We at Influx towers are in the middle of a practical car debate. Sometimes you need a little runabout. And we at Influx towers are in need of a runabout in the shape of a Mini 1275 GT. There are a couple out there that we have our eyes on and our man, local Mini Guru Malcolm<\/a>, is placed, socket-set in hand, to bring our new family baby up to full runabout prep. We reckon that for around a grand, we’ll get a nice one. Nippy school run transport, loaded with fun and oodles of style.<\/p>\n

We love the 1275 GT for its evolutionary square end and that sense of being design step away from clich\u00e9 and a move toward that 1970s style futurism we love so well. Not that we feel nostalgic for the horrid days of Leyland: there’s just something about the boy racer-ish feel and the graphic detailing on the side of the 1275 GT that will lend the school run a perfect sort of piquancy.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the debate are the voices saying that we should invest in a little entry level Toyota IQ, a Smart or a Saxo-type thingy. Stick that grand down they say, pay a paltry amount a month and have full service warranty stuff and a balloon payment at the end of the process.<\/p>\n

We want the car to be economical, stylish and safe for the wee ones. And we don’t want to feel as if we’re plugging wholeheartedly into a consumerist nightmare of crappy build quality and zero kudos, all for the sake of a few airbags.<\/p>\n

What would you do?<\/p>\n
